[[AllMusic]] critic [[Stephen Thomas Erlewine]] praised the album for its "subtle differences in tension and dynamics that keep it fresh and engaging throughout", albeit "a little out of place within the modern rock world of 1999" (due to the prominence of [[nu metal]]) and ultimately "a strong album".<ref name="allmusicr"/> ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]''{{'}}s Steven Mirkin regarded the record as "derivative", while noting the band's "attention to melody and craft" to be refreshing.<ref name="ew-review"/> [[Greg Kot]] of ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' thought that the album "rehashes the [[Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (character)|Jekyll and Hyde]] dynamics that have become alternative rock's creative downfall." Nevertheless, Kot further stated: "With ''Short Bus'', Filter sounded like the latest and lightest in a long line of industrial-rock bands, but ''Title of Record'' expands the possibilities."<ref name="rs-review"/> The album sold more than 1 million copies, and the hit single "[[Take a Picture (Filter song)|Take a Picture]]" fared well on several charts. In 2005, ''Title of Record'' was ranked number 493 in ''[[Rock Hard (magazine)|Rock Hard]]'' magazine's book ''The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time''.<ref>{{cite book|title=Best of Rock & Metal - Die 500 stärksten Scheiben aller Zeiten|year=2005|publisher=[[Rock Hard (magazine)|Rock Hard]]|language=de|isbn=3-89880-517-4|page=10}}</ref> The album was featured as number 8 on ''[[Loudwire]]'''s list of "15 Best Hard Rock Albums of 1999".<ref name="loudwire-hardrock"/>
