Critical reception

Chris Nelson, of Addicted to Noise, ranked The Third Rail as his fourth favorite album of 1996. Writing in the Village Voice, Robert Christgau gave the album a B+ grade, writing that on it, the band's frontman Marcellus Hall "represents Manhattan art-slackerdom like the proud denizen he is." AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that "...much of the album rocks harder and better than any of their previous records."
