Hello Nasty reached the second position in various countries in different publications. Thus, the album was highly praised by Melody Maker, Muzik, and NME in the United Kingdom, by the Rolling Stone in the United States of America, and by Technikart in France. Being released in 1998, the album received mostly positive reviews. The Guardian Review said that the album "fills a gap created by the current profusion of serious rock bands like Radiohead; elbowing its way up front, [and letting] rip with adolescent vigor".

The album may be considered perfect for any party as it contains numerous dancing hits in the rock style. Hello Nasty's final singles may be called a little anticlimactic, but in general this album is a great step forward, especially if to compare it with the previous album by the band Check Your Head. I was writing essay papers/essay term paper devoted to the problem, so I know what I am talking about. 681,000 copies were sold during the first week. Is not it an indicator of the album's success? The album also received two Grammy Awards in the following nominations, Best Alternative Music Album and Best Rap Performance. Moreover, I would like to underline the multi-genre nature of the album. I suppose that an artist should be interesting and different. This band managed to do it, didn't it? Still, electronic funk is a central style of the music in Hello Nasty.
