=== Critical reception ===
''Dexter's Laboratory'', particularly its first two original seasons, received critical acclaim and became one of Cartoon Network's most successful original series. [[Betty Cohen]], then Cartoon Network's president, called it one of her favorite animated programs, stating, "It shows little guys can be powerful."<ref name="phyllis" /> Rapper [[Coolio]] stated in an August 2002 ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' interview that he is a fan of the series, stating, "I watch a lot of cartoons because I have kids. I actually watch more cartoons than movies."<ref name="coolio">{{Cite magazine |last=Hay |first=Carla |date=August 3, 2002 |title=TV Themes and 'Dexter' |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AwwEAAAAMBAJ&q=dexter's+laboratory&pg=PA12 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210929005434/https://books.google.com/books?id=AwwEAAAAMBAJ&q=dexter%27s+laboratory&pg=PA12 |archive-date=September 29, 2021 |access-date=May 26, 2012 |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |page=12 |via=[[Google Books]] |volume=114 |issue=31 |issn=0006-2510}}</ref>

Shortly after the premiere of its first season, ''Dexter's Laboratory'' was hailed as one of the best new series on Cartoon Network by Ted Cox of the ''[[Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, Illinois)|Daily Herald]]''.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Cox |first=Ted |date=June 14, 1996 |title=Check Out Disney Channel's 'Hunchback' for Free |work=[[Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, Illinois)|Daily Herald]]}}</ref> In the lead up to its second season, ''Dexter's Laboratory'' was called the most imaginative series on Cartoon Network by Nancy McAlister of ''[[The Florida Times-Union]]''.{{efn|Writing in 1997, McAlister mistakenly claimed that ''Dexter's Laboratory'' was about to start its third season;<ref name="McAlister" /> the series was actually about to start its second season,<ref name="Ward" /> which would mark its third year on television.<ref name="Moore" />}} Although McAlister critiqued the [[gender role|gender stereotyping]] of Dexter's parents, she acknowledged that she was only applying such scrutiny to the series because ''Dexter's Laboratory'' had helped convince her that "viewers should take animated programming seriously".<ref name="McAlister">{{Cite news |last=McAlister |first=Nancy |date=July 14, 1997 |title=Network's Animated Series Not Just for Kids |work=[[The Florida Times-Union]]}}</ref>

In 1997, Bill Ward of the ''[[Star Tribune]]'' named ''Dexter's Laboratory'' to his Critic's Choice list, recommending it for the "young of all ages".<ref name="Ward">{{Cite news |last=Ward |first=Bill |date=July 16, 1997 |title=Critic's Choice |work=[[Star Tribune]]}}</ref> In 2012, ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' ranked ''Dexter's Laboratory'' fourth in its list of "10 Best Cartoon Network Shows".<ref>{{Cite web |date=October 1, 2012 |title=10 Best Cartoon Network Shows: We Rank 'Em! |url=http://www.ew.com/gallery/10-best-cartoon-network-shows-we-rank-em/579314_4-dexters-laboratory |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151123194051/http://www.ew.com/gallery/10-best-cartoon-network-shows-we-rank-em/579314_4-dexters-laboratory |archive-date=November 23, 2015 |access-date=January 15, 2013 |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]}}</ref> In 2009, ''Dexter's Laboratory'' was named 72nd best animated series by ''IGN'', whose editors remarked, "Aimed at and immediately accessible to children, ''Dexter's Laboratory'' was part of a new generation of animated series that played on two levels, simultaneously fun for both kids and adults."<ref>{{Cite web |date=January 23, 2009 |title=72.

David Perlmutter wrote in his 2018 book, ''The Encyclopedia of American Animated Television Shows'', that all three segments of ''Dexter's Laboratory'' (the main scenario, along with ''Dial M for Monkey'' and ''The Justice Friends'') elevate stereotypical ideas through an approach that contains "verve and originality".{{sfn|Perlmutter|2018|p=153}} Perlmutter called the series more "complex" than it first seems.{{sfn|Perlmutter|2018|p=153}} He praised the staging of action sequences throughout the series and wrote that ''Dexter's Laboratory'' is "much more effective (and funny) than it would have been under a director less committed to the project [than Tartakovsky]."{{sfn|Perlmutter|2018|p=153}}

=== Legacy ===
As affirmed by Giannalberto Bendazzi in ''Animation: A World History Volume III'', ''Dexter's Laboratory'', along with Craig McCracken's ''The Powerpuff Girls'', helped define the style of Cartoon Network, both for being works "in which lines and colour are predominant", and for underlining their graphic aspect through [[limited animation]].<ref name="Bendazzi" /> Television critic Robert Lloyd claimed that both artists were "at the forefront of a second wave of innovative, creator-driven television animation, whose first wave began in the 1990s with the likes of [[Ralph Bakshi]]'s ''[[Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures]]'' and [[John Kricfalusi]]'s ''[[The Ren & Stimpy Show]]''."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Lloyd |first=Robert |date=February 2, 2020 |title=At Netflix, 'Powerpuff Girls' Creator Savors Freedom: 'We Can Do This Now?' |url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2021-02-02/powerpuff-girls-craig-mccracken-kid-cosmic-netfix |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210905160842/https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2021-02-02/powerpuff-girls-craig-mccracken-kid-cosmic-netfix |archive-date=September 5, 2021 |access-date=September 3, 2021 |website=[[Los Angeles Times]]}}</ref> Tartakovsky reflected on this period in 2024, saying that he and his colleagues took full advantage of the freedom provided by the still-new Cartoon Network, but that the level of trust on young artists was "pretty much gone" 30 years later.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Zahed |first=Ramin |date=June 19, 2024 |title=Genndy Tartakovsky Looks Back at the Magic of 'Dexter's Lab' and the Cartoon Boom of the '90s (Exclusive) |url=https://www.animationmagazine.net/2024/06/genndy-tartakovsky-looks-back-at-the-magic-of-dexters-lab-and-the-cartoon-boom-of-the-90s-exclusive/ |access-date=July 19, 2024 |website=Animation Magazine}}</ref>

The show has been credited for kick-starting the channel's ascent and launching Tartakovsky's career, which later gave way to ''Samurai Jack'' and ''[[Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003 TV series)|Star Wars: Clone Wars]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Blumenfeld |first=Zach |date=April 16, 2016 |title=How Dexter's Laboratory Kickstarted Cartoon Network's Ascent |url=https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/how-dexters-laboratory-kickstarted-cartoon-networks-ascent/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210929005420/https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/how-dexters-laboratory-kickstarted-cartoon-networks-ascent/ |archive-date=September 29, 2021 |access-date=September 3, 2021 |website=[[Den of Geek]]}}</ref> To this, ''[[Gizmodo]]'' contributor Beth Elderkin added: "Since then, he's become a staple in children's and adult animation, responsible for everything from the ''[[Hotel Transylvania]]'' series to the powerful (and ultra-violent) ''[[Primal (TV series)|Primal]]''."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Elderkin |first=Beth |date=October 29, 2020 |title=Genndy Tartakovsky's Unicorn: Warriors Eternal Is Heading to HBO Max |url=https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2020/10/genndy-tartakovskys-unicorn-warriors-eternal-is-heading-to-hbo-max/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201102195510/https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2020/10/genndy-tartakovskys-unicorn-warriors-eternal-is-heading-to-hbo-max/ |archive-date=November 2, 2020 |access-date=September 3, 2021 |website=[[Gizmodo]]}}</ref> ''[[New York (magazine)#Vulture|Vulture]]'' called the first pilot episode "a testament to Tartakovsky's talent and commitment as a filmmaker and a proof of concept for the ''What a Cartoon!'' anthology format."<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Vilas-Boas |first1=Eric |last2=Meher |first2=John |date=October 5, 2020 |title=The 100 Most Influential Sequences in Animation History |url=https://www.vulture.com/article/most-influential-best-scenes-animation-history.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201005205951/https://www.vulture.com/article/most-influential-best-scenes-animation-history.html |archive-date=October 5, 2020 |access-date=September 3, 2021 |website=[[Vulture.com|Vulture]]}}</ref> For a while, the show's simplistic look was adopted by other American cartoons; in a 2021 interview with ''[[Syfy Wire]]'', animator Butch Hartman said, "When I started making ''Fairly OddParents'', I took cues from what Genndy did in terms of simplifying the designs and using bold colors and simple shapes."<ref name="Motamayor" />
