Allmusic.com gave Green a 3 1/2 star review:
As far as major-label debuts by underground bands go, Green is fairly uncompromising. While it displays a more powerful guitar sound on “Get Up,” “Turn You Inside Out,” and “Orange Crush,” it also takes more detours than Document, whether it’s the bizarrely affecting contemporary folk of “The Wrong Child” and “You Are the Everything,” the bubblegum of “Stand” and “Pop Song 89,” or the introspection of the lovely “Hairshirt” and “World Leader Pretend.” …Nevertheless, half of the record is brilliant, and it certainly indicates that R.E.M. are continuing to diversify their sound.
