-"Gloriously hard as the album is, you can't miss Metallica's good natured side coming through." Entertainment Weekly (12/18/98, p.84) -
"We'll have to wait until Metallica's next 'proper' album to find out if this trip to the garage recharges their batteries. Still, all things considered, Garage Inc. is an intermittently exhilarating joyride." - Rating: B-
