Although "Pablo Honey" was not met with the critical fervour that Radiohead's later albums were, it has received praise in retrospective coverage. In 1998, a Virgin poll saw "Pablo Honey" voted 100th in the all-time top 1000 albums, while "Q" readers voted it the 61st greatest album of all time. In 2004, "Q" included "Lurgee" and "Blow Out" in a list of twenty essential lesser-known Radiohead songs as part of their "1010 Songs You Must Own" feature. In 2006, "Classic Rock" and its sister publication "Metal Hammer" included "Pablo Honey" in their "200 Greatest Albums of the 90's" list as one of the 20 greatest albums of 1993. In 2008, "Blender" placed the album 82nd in a feature entitled "100 Albums You Must Own", writing: "Self hate couldn't have found a better British exemplification with this band's debut single, which hit the world as part of an album that constructed walls of crunchy guitar tones amidst the dark lyrical content." In 2009, Amazon editors ranked "Pablo Honey" 26th in their "The 100 Greatest Debut Albums of All Time" list. It was voted number 301 in the third edition of Colin Larkin's "All Time Top 1000 Albums" (2000).
