''Exit English'' was met with generally favorable reviews from [[Music journalism|music critics]]. [[AllMusic]] reviewer Charles Spano wrote that the album was "as fun as it is serious -- equal parts pogo punk and agitprop anti-authoritarianism." He said that the "only real drawback" was that Strike Anywhere's contemporaries were pushing their sound, while they were "firmly planted in the moment during 1994", which wasn't "a bad place to be, but the members of Strike Anywhere have more in them than that."<ref name=AMreview/> ''[[CMJ|CMJ New Music Monthly]]''{{'s}} Mikael Wood noted that ''Exit English'' was rooted in a "tradition of positively minded, progressively political hardcore [...] which means that what the disc lacks in musical subtlety, it makes for in well-meaning sentiment".<ref name=CMJreview/> Stuart Green of ''[[Exclaim!]]'' found that the band took "a few musical chances by slowing down the tempos and revisiting the old-school punk of the late 70s", showcasing growth "both musically and lyrically."<ref name=Exclaimreview/>  ''[[The Phoenix (newspaper)|The Boston Phoenix]]'' writer Sean Richardson said for a punk act with a "strident anti-corporate agenda, Strike Anywhere are intent on keeping their lyrics positive and their music upbeat".<ref name=TBPreview/>

Punknews.org staff member Brian Shultz wrote that ''Exist English'' had a "more complete sound" than their debut, with Strike Anywhere showing that they "have lit the match and have already set it ablaze."<ref name=PNreview/> Andrew Sacher of ''[[BrooklynVegan]]'' remarked that it was "more approachable record than the band's debut, but it stays just as true to the band's hardcore roots and political message".<ref name=BVretro>{{cite web|url=https://www.brooklynvegan.com/10-classic-hardcore-albums-turning-20-in-2023/|title=10 Classic Hardcore Albums Turning 20 in 2023|work=[[BrooklynVegan]]|author=Sacher, Andrew|date=June 29, 2023|accessdate=June 29, 2023}}</ref> ''[[Ox-Fanzine]]'' reviewer Joachim Hiller called ''Exist English'' "a rousing, mature album", full of "rousing hardcore" that "extends the known old school elements here more than before with newer elements, sometimes only stopping a hand's breadth in front of [[screamo]] colleagues like [[Thrice]] and Co."<ref name=Oxreview/> ''[[Rock Hard (magazine)|Rock Hard]]'' writer Jan Jaedike said ''Exist English'' had a handful of "really fine hooks [that] fall off without neglecting the aggro portion. Good slice!"<ref name=RHreview/> ''[[Now (newspaper)|Now]]'' contributor Dylan Young wrote that the album consisted of "a tight blend of strident rhythms, scattershot drums, casual chatter and laryngitis-inducing wails." He mentioned that "[t]one-wise, it’s a little unrealistic – you know, bleeding-heart {{notatypo|naive}}, {{notatypo|dystopically}} obstructed, {{notatypo|utopically}} transcended and anthemically hopeful."<ref name=Nowreview/>
