AllMusic gave Disco Rigido a negative mark of two out of five possible stars.[11] More positive in their critique of the album was Trouser Press, who identified Die Warzau's strength for combining rhythm and samples and claimed that "the group's political agenda never gets in the way of the fun."[12]
