Rusty received critical acclaim and has since been cited as an influential album, often compared favorably to Slint's 1991 album Spiderland.[2][5] AllMusic writer Ned Raggett said, "this is an album to readily get lost in. The evident variety is another reason to listen, not least because everything is handled so aptly, parts of a greater overall whole."[3]
