Caroline Sullivan, writing for ''[[The Guardian]]'', named it the "Pop CD of the Week" and said it "fills a gap created by the current profusion of serious rock bands like [[Radiohead]]; elbowing its way up front, [and letting] rip with adolescent vigour."<ref name="The Guardian Review"/> She went on to summarize the record as "the perfect party soundtrack by the perfect party band."<ref name="The Guardian Review"/> ''[[Select (magazine)|Select]]''{{'}}s [[John Harris (critic)|John Harris]] praised the Beastie Boys' lyrics for being as "fantastically off-beam as ever", while at the same time noting that they had "broadened their musical vistas yet further".<ref name="Select Review">{{cite journal |title=Old skool reunion |journal=[[Select (magazine)|Select]] |issue=98 |date=August 1998 |last=Harris |first=John |author-link=John Harris (critic) |page=88}}</ref> Although [[AllMusic]]'s [[Stephen Thomas Erlewine]] felt the album's ending was "a little anticlimactic", he also saw ''Hello Nasty'' as a progressive step forward from the group's 1992 LP ''[[Check Your Head]]'' and praised the contributions of the group's new recruit, [[Mix Master Mike]]: "Hiring DJ Mixmaster Mike turned out to be a masterstroke; he and the Beasties created a sound that strongly recalls the spare electronic funk of the early '80s, but spiked with the samples and post-modern absurdist wit that have become their trademarks."<ref name="allmusic review"/> In his review for ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'', [[David Browne (journalist)|David Browne]] highlighted the album's multi-genre sound as its most engaging aspect: <blockquote>''Hello Nasty'' is a sonic smorgasbord in which the Beasties gorge themselves with reckless abandon. They dabble in lounge-pop kitsch (the loser put-down "Song for the Man"), make like a summit of [[Santana (band)|Santana]] and [[Traffic (band)|Traffic]] (the Latin-flavored "Song for Junior"), and subtly incorporate a drum-and-bass shuffle into the mix ("Flowin' Prose"). The melange makes for a looser, more free-spirited record than their earlier albums; the music invites you in, rather than threatening to shut you out.<ref name="EW review"/></blockquote>
