to celebrate the new millennium. In 2002, The Guardian published an article written by the critic Lyn Gardner about the enduring relevance of Top Girls as the play was being revived in the West End 20 years after its initial premiere. In the article Gardner stated that Top Girls "can still lay claim to being one of the finest postwar British plays. With its postmodern approach to structure, chronology and, most obviously, language, including dialogue that interrupts and overlaps, it is certainly one of the most influential." She also wrote that the play's opening dinner party scene is "one of the most famous scenes in modern drama". Top Girls is listed as one of the 100 “best and most influential plays” performed in Britain from 1945 – 2010 in the book and iPad app Played in Britain: Modern Theatre in 100 Plays. In 2012, critic Benedict Nightingale included Top Girls in his list of Great Moments in the Theatre, writing that many of Churchill's plays "seize and startle, asking key questions in dramatically daring ways, but none more than that modern classic, Top Girls."

In 2014, Top Girls was ranked by The Daily Telegraph as one of the 15 greatest plays ever written. In 2018, Top Girls was included in The Times'''s list of "The greatest plays of all time". In 2019 Methuen Drama conducted a public poll to decide which of their published plays should be re-issued as part of a special edition boxset that would commemorate 60 years of publishing play-texts in their Modern Plays series. The poll consisted of a shortlist of Methuen’s plays for each decade since 1960, with voters being asked to determine which play was “the most representative” of the decade in which it premiered.
