Outside the United States, the song peaked within the top ten of the charts in Canada, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland, and United Kingdom, as well as the top twenty of the charts in Austria and Belgium.
Chuck Taylor of Billboard wrote, "Now this is a new twist. Instead of sampling an '80s pop staple à la Puff Daddy, rapper Jay -Z goes after a '70s Broadway show tune, in this case "Hard-Knock Life" from "Annie". The results will grab listeners and pin them to their radio speakers, if only to figure out just what's going on here. It's this kind of clever twist and original thinking that has the potential to expand the horizons of the genre, known in particular for running the retread trend ragged. Unfortunately, this is one of those rap records that, in order to find its place on radio, has to be edited and blanked to the point of distraction. Programmers will have to weigh the value of the novelty against wondering why the artist didn't just start over with a clean slate if he intended to hit the airwaves. Still, there's no resisting the unique flavor of this clever number, which has "hit" stamped all over it."
While it peaked at number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100, "Hard Knock Life" was also Jay-Z's first single to achieve significant success outside the United States, peaking within the top ten of the charts in several countries, including Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

Slant Magazine listed "Hard Knock Life" at number 84 in their ranking of "The 100 Best Singles of the 1990s" in 2011, writing, "Jay-Z’s co-opting of a discordant, already famous showtune is a rare novel endeavor in a genre generally defined by following the leader; it’s pulled off so seamlessly that it’s easy to forget what a ballsy move it was. The transformation of the original’s piano base into a thumping organ creep sets the stage, but it’s undeniably Jay-Z, transparently showing off his executive command by fussing with the levels at the start, which makes the song. The source material and the resulting product may seem diametrically opposed, but they end up being fundamentally about the same thing: forming a common thread of struggles with poverty spun into gold."
VH1 placed it at number 11 on their list of "100 Greatest Songs of Hip-Hop".
