Critical reception

Exclaim! praised "the quality of the material and the genuine fire and raw riffage the band has captured on this recording, invigorating their art with punk yet again." [12] Trouser Press called the EP "fast, loud and hectoring," writing that "more than the sound itself, the attitude and sheer energy of Read & Burn 01 is what gestures back to 1977, as Wire channels the spirit of Pink Flag into a hardcore digital context." [11]
