2000", writing, "...everyone should give King James Version a fighting chance because it is by far their best recording. It’s digest-able, approachable, funny, catchy and if not for certain powers that be or better timing they may have been placed higher in most collections alongside other Seattle superstars." NPR Music also praised the album in 2011, describing it as "ambitious and frequently beautiful" and having "aged exceptionally well" in the years following its release. Myles Griffin of the Spartanburg Herald-Journal labelled the album as "one of the most creative and enjoyable rock albums of the decade" in 2008. Sean Nelson later recognised King James Version's status as a "cult gem" several years following its release, which allowed him to move on from the negative experiences surround its promotion and release. "I'd met lots of people over the years who told me they knew of [King James Version], had bought it for a penny on eBay, had found it one evening out someone's coffee table, had discovered an entire landfill made out of it, and it always made me grateful. But really going out into the world and seeing the way people had internalized the songs, knew every word, leaped for joy when the opening chords rang out—it simply alleviated several years' worth of compounded anxiety and allowed me to move on." Harvey Danger performed King James Version in its entirety on March 7, 2008, at The Triple Door in Seattle, Washington as part of a set of concerts commemorating the 10th anniversary of Where Have All The Merrymakers Gone?. Ten out of the album's twelve songs (excluding "You Miss the Point Completely I Get the Point Exactly" and "(This Is) The Thrilling Conversation You've Been Waiting For") were played by Harvey Danger at their last ever show at The Crocodile Café in Seattle on August 29, 2009.
