October 12, 2004.〕 In a contemporary review, ''Ebony'' magazine's Phyl Garland called the album "mind-blowing" and said Scott-Heron "does not merely posture and pacify, but presses one to consider the uncomfortable truths of contemporary blackness."〔Garland, Phyl. "(Review: ''The Revolution Will Not Be Televised'' )". ''Ebony'': 30. December 1974.〕
Since then, ''The Revolution Will Not Be Televised'' has positive reviews from publications such as ''The Washington Post'' and ''Los Angeles Daily News'',〔Harrington, Richard.

''Los Angeles Daily News'': September 2, 1988.〕 and stated, "the roots of rap run deep through this superb retrospective".〔Columnist. "(Review: ''The Revolution Will Not Be Televised'' )". ''Los Angeles Daily News'': December 30, 1988.〕 Robert Christgau gave it a "B+" in a 1981 review, writing that the compilation abandons the homophobia that plagued Scott-Heron's 1970 debut ''Small Talk at 125th and Lenox'' in favor of songs that show artistic progress, including agitprop that sounds less arrogant but still committed and improved singing that reveals his compassion. In his book ''To the Break of Dawn: A Freestyle on the Hip Hop Aesthetic'' (2007), William Jelani Cobb said of its significance in hip hop music:
In a five-star review for the ''Virgin Encyclopedia of Popular Music'' (2002), writer Colin Larkin praised Scott-Heron's anger and passion in his spoken-word performances on "No Knock" and the title track.〔 AllMusic's Alex Henderson also gave ''The Revolution Will Not Be Televised'' five stars and recommended the album's "innovative R&B and spoken poetry" to listeners interested in "exploring his artistry for the first time".〔
