NME named The Real Ramona the 35th best album of 1991.[9] In a retrospective review, Andrzej Lukowski of BBC Music wrote that with The Real Ramona, Throwing Muses wrote an "album of great pop songs, but when they did so they no way surrendered their intrinsic otherness – two decades of indie-pop later, it still sounds arresting.[10]
