Rock critic Robert Christgau lauded Mundo Civilizado as "a fragile, lyrical, sly, beatwise, embarrassingly beautiful cross-cultural appropriation that just goes to show how people grow up and settle down even when they don't."[3] He named the album his favorite of 1997 in the annual Pazz & Jop poll published by The Village Voice,[5] and in 2021, he named it among the 10 best albums from the 1990s.[6]
