In 2013, Dale Eisinger of [[Complex (magazine)|''Complex'']] ranked ''United States'' as the third greatest work of performance art ever, with the writer arguing that Anderson is "able to ascertain just exactly the climate of life in the United States, without being so punctuated that it causes a standoff. Perhaps the zenith of this configuration was her multimedia performance, 'United States I – IV.' [...] [Anderson displays] her vast, incisive range of talents on the 'United States Live' recordings."<ref>{{Cite web|last=Eisinger|first=Dale|date=April 9, 2013|title=The 25 Best Performance Art Pieces of All Time|url=https://www.complex.com/style/2013/04/the-25-best-performance-art-pieces-of-all-time/|access-date=February 28, 2021|website=Complex|language=en}}</ref>
