The Washington Post wrote that the album "starts with straightforward rockers like the ones the band recorded for its two Virgin albums ... But after the Latin-influenced '!Yo Se!', the music veers in the looser, jazzier direction of the band's earlier work."[9] NME named it the 27th best album of 1999.[10]
Record Collector called Veterans of Disorder "by no means a classic album but, as a statement against conformity, convention and expectation, it still packs a powerful punch."[11]
