Alex Henderson of AllMusic gave the album three stars out of five, feeling that overall it was not as good as the standout single "Unbelievable": "The only song that comes close to packing the punch of 'Unbelievable' is the intoxicating 'Long Summer Days'. For the most part, Schubert Dip is a prime example of an album that is simply decent when it should have been excellent."[2]

Note
The track "Lies" on the first pressings of Schubert Dip originally began with a sample of the voice of John Lennon's assassin, Mark David Chapman, reciting the first two lines of the lyrics to Lennon's "Watching the Wheels". Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, objected to this sample and as a result all subsequent pressings of the album have omitted the sample of Chapman's voice.
The Hungarian speech at the beginning of the track "Travelling Not Running": "Az nem lehet, hogy az ellenzéknek is ártani lehet, ezt majd a végső eredmény eldönti..." ("It is impossible to harm the oppositionist, the final result will decide it...") was spoken by János Berecz, a Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party politician at the end of the Iron Curtain era.
Sample credits
"Unbelievable" includes samples of US comedian Andrew Dice Clay throughout the track.
The song "Girl of an Age" contains a sample of the character Ernie from Sesame Street speaking to his friend Bert.
