The album received positive reviews. In the NME, Terry Staunton gave the record an 8 out of 10, writing, "It can be a struggle at first, as Johnson never lets up from his blacker-than-black world-view, but 'Dusk' is a rich and hugely rewarding experience which draws you to its cold bosom again and again."^[3] In Melody Maker David Bennun observed that it was "a remarkably straightforward album" for Johnson and wrote, "Like Nick Cave, Johnson protects himself from the ridicule he invites with bombastic self-caricature. When he lets this slip, he's left with an album that, although frequently absorbing, is still as inherently laughable as any The The album. "Dusk" needs time to grow; it deserves it. But while it takes it, the Dogs of Lust are closing in, howling with mirth."^[4] Sam Samuelson of AllMusic gave the record four stars out of five, declaring it one of Johnson's "most accomplished products to date."^[2]
