AllMusic called Blank Generation "one of the most powerful to come from punk's first wave" and "groundbreaking punk rock that followed no one's template, and today it sounds just as fresh—and nearly as abrasive—as it did when it first hit the racks." BBC Music was positive of the album in its 2007 review, calling it "a thrilling and improbably poignant listening experience".
