"Frozen Warnings" was included in Toby Creswell's compendium "1001 Songs"; Creswell wrote, "Just as she had done with "The Velvet Underground & Nico", the singer put a new tone into music." In 2013 John Cale curated "Life Along the Borderline: A Tribute to Nico" at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, which featured songs from "The Marble Index" and other Nico albums performed by Peaches, Yeasayer, Sharon Van Etten, Meshell Ndegeocello and Cale. Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie has listed "The Marble Index" as one of his favorite albums and stated that it was a "huge influence" in the making of their 1999 album "Screamadelica". Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu, has cited the album as an inspiration, writing, "it completely changed my entire view of what it was possible to do in music", and "you could never mistake it for anything else, which is an astounding thing to be able to do." The album was also a favorite of American musician Elliott Smith.
