Return of the Rentals received generally favorable reviews from critics.[4] Entertainment Weekly gave the album a "B" and claimed "...its winsome love songs make for good, clean, disposable fun..."[5] Q magazine gave the album 3 stars and compare their work to the early work of the Cars, "...The Rentals...root themselves in the sound of late-`70s US new wave...the result is in many senses reminiscent of The Cars' earlier material..."[6] NME also praised the album giving it a 7 our of 10. They complimented that "despite its pretensions to [be] meaningless electro-pop, it can't help but have depth..."[7] Pitchfork Media's Ryan Schreiber also highly praised the album and enjoyed the band's attempt of bringing back Moog synthesizers.[8] All Music Guide praised the album as well and said "...this record is a real benchmark of carefree pop from the '90s and shouldn't be forgotten anytime soon."[9]
