    Preservation Act 1 did not sell well (peaking on the Billboard 200 at No. 177). However, it was well received by many critics at the time. A review in Rolling Stone by Ken Barnes was critical of Ray Davies` "tendency toward vaudevillian excess," but overall he rated Preservation as a "highly listenable, enjoyable album."[7] Barnes singled out "Sitting in the Midday Sun" as a "wistfully irresistible" number and labeled "One of the Survivors" the Kinks` "best outright rocker" in years.[7] Gary Lucas, reviewing Preservation Act 1 for Zoo World, also had high praise for the work, stating: "Dare I say it is one of the nicest albums to be released this year (if not the best)? Of course I will."[8] Focusing on the musical theater aspects of the LP, Barbara Charone ranked the album as one of the "most impressive" of the Kinks` career.[9]

    Some more recent reviews of Preservation Act 1 have been sympathetic to its theatrical ambitions, such as AllMusic`s Stephen Thomas Erlewine, who declared "Sweet Lady Genevieve" to be the "real candidate for Davies` forgotten masterpiece".[1]

    The 1991 CD reissue on Rhino was a 2-CD set combining Preservation Act 1 with its 1974 follow-up Preservation Act 2. It contained one bonus track ("Preservation") and an extended mix of "Money & Corruption/I Am Your Man", featuring an extra instrumental break.

    The 1998 CD reissue of Preservation Act 1 on Velvel includes the single versions of "Preservation" and "One of the Survivors", neither of which is available on the original vinyl release.

    The chorus from side 2`s "Money and Corruption" was used by the hackers group Anonymous when attacking governmental websites during the 2014 World Cup.[10]
