| AllMusic |    [3] |
AllMusic gave World War Underground a rating of two and a half out of five possible stars.[3] Larry Miles of Black Monday gave the compilation a positive review and said "wicked dance grooves ooze from this compilation of rare material."[4] Sonic Boom was especially praising of the cover versions, saying "proGREX.iv does a technofied version of No Doubt's 'Don't Speak', En Esch crucifies the synth-pop Ministry anthem "Work for Love", Black Rain donate their own unique post-industrial version of The Sex Pistol's 'Nanarchy in the UK', and Dessau makes mincemeat of Indiana University's school song, 'On The Banks'."[2]
