The album was met with a polarized reception upon release and has continued to divide listeners. [[Decibel (Magazine)|Decibel]] described the album as, "a milestone in extreme music history."<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.decibelmagazine.com/2020/07/01/the-chains-that-bind-us-napalm-deaths-harmony-corruption-turns-30/|title=Napalm Death's 'Harmony Corruption' Turns 30|date=1 July 2020 |access-date=2024-09-28}}</ref> Conversely, [[AllMusic]] described the album as, "a bit of a novel album for the band, though one that's not especially remarkable in the big picture."<ref>{{Citation |title=Harmony Corruption - Napalm Death {{!}} Album {{!}} AllMusic |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/harmony-corruption-mw0000310655 |access-date=2024-11-10}}</ref>

[[Shane Embury]] has said of the album's reception, "it turned a lot of people on to the band who I guess had never given us the time of day, but also turned old-school fans off. Being young at the time and seeing the reactions was kind of scary; as you get older, opinions matter less, but it captured the time. Over in the states it has the same nostalgia as Scum. We will always have to play 'Suffer the Children.'"<ref name=":0" />
