Red was ranked by NME at No. 3 among the best albums of 1981. [5]

The Rolling Stone Album Guide wrote that Rose's "elaborately ornamented phrasing has more in common with cantorial singing than with typical reggae vocal style." [4] In 2023, Rolling Stone ranked Red at number 466 on its list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time". [6]
