Billy Morrison, of Camp Freddy and Circus Diablo, states that Earth vs the Wildhearts is one of his favourite albums of all time. Earth vs the Wildhearts was voted the number #1 album of 1993 by Kerrang! magazine in their yearly poll. In 2006, Kerrang rated it #20 in a special publication of the best Rock Albums. The album has been reissued twice: first in 1994 with the addition of the formerly single-only track "Caffeine Bomb", and again in 2010 with several B-sides from the period.

On the 20th anniversary of the album's release, in 2013, the Wildhearts reformed for a tour in which the original version of the album was played in its entirely nightly, followed by a second set of songs chosen by the audience.
