Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic hailed the album saying "On 100 Degrees and Rising, the pioneering acid house outfit, Incognito, turn in another first-rate record, featuring their trademark mixture of jazz, soul, and funk. There's not much to distinguish 100 Degrees from their previous handful of records, but the band is smooth, accomplished, and deep, finding new variations on their trademark sound." Richard Torres of Rolling Stone wrote "On Incognito's superlative fifth album, 100deg and Rising, Jean-Paul Bluey Maunick actually proves himself a worthy student of the old school..Although his LP may be overlong by an instrumental or two, Maunick is leading the old-school charge into the new millennium with his carefully built melodies, wary lyrics and sensual production..On 100deg and Rising, Incognito make more than sense, they make beauty, too."
