''Hybrid Theory'' received generally positive reviews from critics. Mike Ross of [[Jam!]] praised the album as an effective fusion of [[hip hop music|hip hop]] and [[heavy metal music|heavy metal]] music and deemed Linkin Park "one of the finest new rap metal bands".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://jam.canoe.ca/Music/Artists/L/Linkin_Park/AlbumReviews/2001/01/27/771280.html|title=Hybrid Theory|last=Ross|first=Mike|publisher=[[Jam!]]|access-date=September 9, 2009|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120530065240/http://jam.canoe.ca/Music/Artists/L/Linkin_Park/AlbumReviews/2001/01/27/771280.html|archive-date=May 30, 2012|url-status=usurped}}</ref> ''[[PopMatters]]'' reviewer Stephanie Dickison wrote that they are "a far more complex and talented group than the hard rock boy bands of late" and "will continue to fascinate and challenge music's standard sounds."<ref name="popmatters">{{cite web|url=http://www.popmatters.com/music/reviews/l/linkinpark-hybrid.shtml|title=Linkin Park: Hybrid Theory|last=Dickison|first=Stephanie|website=[[PopMatters]]|date=October 23, 2001|access-date=September 29, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041212025306/http://www.popmatters.com/music/reviews/l/linkinpark-hybrid.shtml|archive-date=December 12, 2004|url-status=dead}}</ref> In ''[[Q (magazine)|Q]]'', Dan Silver commented that the band had given "angst-ridden rock... an effective electronic spin".<ref name="q"/> Johan Wippsson from ''[[Melodic (magazine)|Melodic]]'' complimented Don Gilmore's production and described ''Hybrid Theory'' as "destructive and angry but always with a well controlled melodic feeling all over."<ref name="melodic"/> ''[[The Village Voice]]''{{'}}s [[Robert Christgau]] gave the album a [[Christgau's Consumer Guide: Albums of the '90s#Grading key|two-star honorable mention]] rating and cited "Papercut" and "Points of Authority" as highlights; he quipped, "the men don't know what the angry boys understand".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://robertchristgau.com/get_album.php?id=11138|title=Linkin Park: Hybrid Theory|last=Christgau|first=Robert|author-link=Robert Christgau|publisher=robertchristgau.com|access-date=September 29, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201017053159/https://robertchristgau.com/get_album.php?id=11138|archive-date=October 17, 2020|url-status=live}}</ref>

In a more critical assessment, William Ruhlmann of [[AllMusic]] found that on ''Hybrid Theory'', Linkin Park sound "like a Johnny-come-lately to an already overdone musical style."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/hybrid-theory-mw0000102770|title=Hybrid Theory – Linkin Park|last=Ruhlmann|first=William|publisher=[[AllMusic]]|access-date=September 17, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170619081830/https://www.allmusic.com/album/hybrid-theory-mw0000102770|archive-date=June 19, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> ''[[NME]]'' critic Noel Gardner said that it was a "decent" album in need of editing, writing that "otherwise damn fine soaring emo-crunchers like 'With You' and 'A Place for My Head' are pointlessly jazzed up with tokenistic scratching".<ref name="nme"/> ''[[Rolling Stone]]''{{'}}s Matt Diehl felt that the album "works in spots" and the band "knows its way around a hook", but panned Bennington and Shinoda's "corny, boilerplate-aggro lyrics".<ref name="rs"/>

Reviewing ''Hybrid Theory'' in 2006, Tyler Fisher of Sputnikmusic perceived a lack of musical variety on the record, but concluded that it "stands as a defining mainstream album at the turn of the century, and for good reason."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/8981/Linkin-Park-Hybrid-Theory/|title=Linkin Park – Hybrid Theory|last=Fisher|first=Tyler|publisher=Sputnikmusic|date=September 2, 2006|access-date=October 12, 2020|archive-date=May 24, 2012|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120524101217/http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/8981/Linkin-Park-Hybrid-Theory/|url-status=live}}</ref> Writing for ''[[Stylus Magazine]]'' the following year, Ian Cohen found that while the album is "almost completely forgettable" outside of its singles, it "was strangely fresh for mainstream rock radio, particularly placed in relief of its ugly [[post-grunge]] peers and the staunch revivalism of the [[The Strokes|Strokes]]/[[The White Stripes|White Stripes]] front."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.stylusmagazine.com/articles/diamond/linkin-park-hybrid-theory.htm|title=Linkin Park – Hybrid Theory – The Diamond|last=Cohen|first=Ian|website=[[Stylus Magazine]]|date=July 3, 2007|access-date=September 9, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160104211945/http://www.stylusmagazine.com/articles/diamond/linkin-park-hybrid-theory.htm|archive-date=January 4, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> ''[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]''{{'}}s Gabriel Szatan was more enthusiastic in a 2020 review; he wrote that "all the band's sharpest tendencies meshed and their less attractive aesthetic impulses were suppressed" on ''Hybrid Theory'', while crediting the band with helping to normalize discussion of mental health "within [[pop music|pop]], rock, rap, and every genre along the heavy axis".<ref name="pitchfork"/> Luke Morton of ''[[Kerrang!]]'' argued that it is "not hyperbolic to say that ''Hybrid Theory'' is one of the most important rock albums of all time."<ref name="kerrang"/>
