AllMusic	[11]

AllMusic gave Disco Rigido a negative mark of two out of five possible stars.[11] More positive in their critique of the album was Trouser Press, who identified Die Warzau's strength for combining rhythm and samples and claimed that "the group's political agenda never gets in the way of the fun."[12] The album made CMJ's "Jackpot" picks in October 1989, claiming that "Die Warzau could be poised to fill the void on dancefloors" left behind after fellow Chicagoan Al Jourgenson "turned in his industrial-strength samplers and synth grooves for a sadomasochistic metal guitar crunch."[13]
