Linebaugh's books have been generally well received within the discipline of history, and several of his books have demonstrated popularity among general readers. Historian Robin D.G. Kelley offered high praise of the work of Linebaugh, arguing in a book review of "The Magna Carta Manifesto" (2008) that there is "not a more important historian living today. Period."
