John Bush of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, calling it "one of the grooviest, funkiest underground records of the '90s." He said, "My Vinyl Weighs a Ton boasts deep beats and choice samples, all of them working brilliantly together, and enough great cutting to keep each track raw and full of energy." On the issue of March 1, 1999, CMJ New Music Report listed it as one of the "Essential Releases of the Week".
