Critical reception[edit]

AllMusic gave the album a perfect 5 star rating, and writer Steve Huey stated: '[Funcrusher Plus] demands intense concentration, but also rewards it, and its advancement of hip-hop as an art form is still being felt. It's difficult, challenging music, to be sure, and it's equally far ahead of its time.'^[5] Jon Dolan of City Pages noted '[Company Flow's] evincing a confrontational critique of 'those signed, big-budget muthafuckas' like none hip hop has attempted since EPMD's Strictly Business.'^[14]

Andrew Hultkrans of Spin gave the album 8 stars out of 10, commenting that '[the album] deconstructed hip-hop conventions and rebuilt them into a spare, murky, sputtering soundscape.'^[13] Jeff Weiss of Los Angeles Times felt that 'El-P conjured an apocalyptic minimalism -- the sublimated sound of clanging and cluttered train cars, city grime buried beneath cuticles, and the ghostly smoke of burning blunts.'^[7]

Nate Patrin of Pitchfork said: 'With the exception of the nocturnal crystalline funk of the Bigg Jus-produced 'Lune TNS' and the frequent scratch contributions from secret weapon DJ Mr. Len, Funcrusher Plus' beats bear the mark of El-P's dusty-but-digital aesthetic, which even back then had the same sort of beautiful-dystopia Blade Runner feel that informed Cannibal Ox's The Cold Vein and his own Fantastic Damage a few years later.'^[10]

Brian Coleman of CMJ New Music Monthly called it 'the most important release of 1997 thus far.'^[15] Joseph Schafer of Stereogum said, 'Funcrusher Plus made for a hell of an opening salvo, and most emcee/producers would envy having such a record in their discography, but El mostly improved upon his work here later.'^[16]

On October 4, 2011, 'Lune TNS' was chosen by NJ.com as the Song of the Day.^[4]

In 2003, Funcrusher Plus ranked at number 84 on Pitchfork's Top 100 Albums of the 1990s list.^[17] In 2014, Complex listed the album at number 86 on the 90 Best Rap Albums of the 90s.^[2] In 2015, it was chosen by Fact as number 4 on the 100 Best Indie Hip-Hop Records of All Time.^[18]
