Writing for [[Drowned in Sound]], Benjamin Bland said that, "[[Big Black]] and Shellac are surely the two most influential '[[noise rock]]' groups there have ever been. Hundreds of bands have sounded like them, and in all probability so will hundreds more. Who can blame them? When a shadow that large looms over an entire subgenre of music, it’s hard not to be influenced by it, let alone ignore it altogether."<ref name=des/>

[[John Robb (musician)|John Robb]], music critic and frontman of British [[post-punk]] band the Membranes, called Shellac "the finest rock band on the planet. This is the rock band that the rest of us in our bands [...] have had to measure ourselves against and if we are found wanting then we have to cower behind rocks and attempt to revive our measly offerings until they measure up."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://louderthanwar.com/shellac-dude-incredible-album-review-1010-for-a-stunning-return/|title=Shellac: Dude Incredible - album review.
