In the years following its release, ''Homogenic'' has continued to receive acclaim from critics, audiences and musicians. In a retrospective review, Heather Phares of [[AllMusic]] cited ''Homogenic'' as being more emotionally deep than any of Björk's previous work and called it a "seamless fusion of chilly strings, stuttering, abstract beats, and unique touches like an accordion and glass harmonica."<ref name="allmusicreview" /> In 2002, ''Homogenic'' placed at number ten on ''[[Slant Magazine]]''{{'}}s list of "The Greatest Electronic Albums of the 20th Century".<ref name="slant25">{{cite web | author= Cinquemani, Sal | title=2520: The 25 Greatest Electronic Albums of the 20th Century : Slant Magazine | url=http://www.slantmagazine.com/music/feature/2520-the-25-greatest-electronic-albums-of-the-20th-century/191/page_2 | work=Slant Magazine | year=2002 | access-date=2010-01-26 }}</ref> In 2003, it was placed at number 21 on the music [[webzine]] ''[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]''{{'}}s list of the top one hundred albums of the 1990s, in which it was praised as "one of the most perfectly formed records of any era, and it is entirely possible that Björk will never approach this level of consistently enrapturing beauty again".<ref name="fork100">{{cite web | author=Leone, Dominique | title=Pitchfork: Top 100 Albums of the 1990s | url=http://pitchfork.com/features/staff-lists/5923-top-100-albums-of-the-1990s/8/ | work=Pitchfork | date=2003-11-23 | access-date=2009-04-09 }}</ref> In 2007, ''Slant Magazine'' critic Sal Cinquemani wrote that "if not the greatest electronic album of all time, it's certainly the greatest of its decade".<ref name=slant>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.slantmagazine.com/music/review/bjork-homogenic/234 |title=Björk: ''Homogenic'' |magazine=[[Slant Magazine]] |date=6 May 2007 |access-date=8 April 2009 |last=Cinquemani |first=Sal}}</ref> The same year, ''Spin'' writer Phoebe Reilly called it Björk's "most sublime and vulnerable album" in a career retrospective.<ref name="Björk Discography"/> In 2011, ''Slant Magazine'' placed the album at number one on their list of best albums of the 1990s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.slantmagazine.com/features/article/best-albums-of-the-1990s/P10|work=[[Slant Magazine]]|title=The 100 Best Albums of the 1990s|access-date=25 September 2013|date=14 February 2011}}</ref> In 2017, [[Philip Sherburne]] of ''Pitchfork'' observed that it "showcased a newly focused side of the musician while embracing all of her most provocative contradictions."<ref name=fork /> In 2020, ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' ranked the album at number 202 on its "[[Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time|500 Greatest Albums of All Time]]" list.<ref>{{cite magazine |date=22 September 2020 |title=The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time |magazine=[[Rolling Stone]] |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-albums-of-all-time-1062063/bjork-homogenic-1063031/ |access-date=24 September 2020}}</ref> In 2023, [[British GQ|British ''GQ'']] ranked it at number four on their list of ten best electronic albums of all time.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-05-12 |title=The 10 best electronic albums of all time |url=https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/best-electronic-albums |access-date=2023-05-13 |website=[[British GQ]] |language=en-GB}}</ref>

According to ''[[Tiny Mix Tapes]]'', ''Homogenic'' is "one of the most groundbreaking albums of all-time, an album that assuredly caused countless hearts to soar." With ''Homogenic'', Björk has been credited for connecting [[art pop]] to [[electronic dance music]].<ref name="harmony"/> Philip Sherburne of [[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]] described the album as impactful on Björk's own discography, stating: "In retrospect, it's easy to see the way that ''Homogenic'' paves the way for later career triumphs like ''[[Vespertine]]'' and ''[[Vulnicura]]'': In its formal audacity and sustained emotional intensity, it represents a phase shift from ''Debut'' and ''Post'', fine though they were."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/22835-homogenic|title=Björk: Homogenic Album Review|first=Philip|last=Sherburne|date=5 February 2017|website=[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]|access-date=1 October 2021}}</ref> In an interview with ''Spin'', [[Radiohead]] singer [[Thom Yorke]] called the song "Unravel" "one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nme.com/news/music/radiohead-645-1342950|title=Thom Yorke reveals favourite song ever - NME|date=22 November 2006|website=Nme.com|access-date=30 November 2017}}</ref> The band would cover the song as part of a 2007 live webcast.<ref>{{cite web|title=Radiohead - Unravel (thumbs down version)|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVvO4mPoZiA|via=YouTube|access-date=12 May 2018|date=10 December 2007}}</ref> Their guitarist [[Ed O'Brien]] claimed Björk inspired them to change their musical style for their fourth studio album ''[[Kid A]]'' (2000), stating: "I think we've all been a bit envious about the way Björk has been able to reinvent music."<ref name="harmony">{{cite web|url=https://www.harmonyworldmag.com/post/bj%C3%B6rk-s-homogenic-and-its-lasting-influence-1|title=Björk's Homogenic and its Lasting Influence|work=Harmony World Magazine|first=Mehr|last=Sahni|access-date=1 October 2021|date=25 March 2021|quote=Without Björk, electronic and art-pop music would not exist in the same capacity that it does today.}}</ref> ''Homogenic'' has also been noted to have had influence on [[Kanye West]] by various sources, as he departed [[Hip hop music|hip hop]] in favor of a more [[Experimental music|experimental]] sound for his fourth studio album ''[[808s & Heartbreak]]'' (2008).<ref name="harmony"/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.loudandquiet.com/short/bjork-homogenic-at-20-template-for-artistic-reinvention|title='Homogenic' reinvented Björk – it's still the template for so many other artistic transformations|work=Loud and Quiet|first=Sam|last=Walton|access-date=1 October 2021|date=September 2017}}</ref>
