Rick Anderson of AllMusic called Rafi's Revenge "an exhausting but exhilarating album," adding that "its depth and complexity of texture keep revealing new surprises with repeated listenings." Matt Diehl of Entertainment Weekly wrote, "Recalling the Clash in their dance-music phase or a more groovealicious Rage Against the Machine, Asian Dub Foundation kick out the jams in Rafi's Revenge with aplomb; in the process, they become more than a caustic Cornershop for club kids."
