The Globe and Mail wrote that "Molly Hatchet is little more than just another in a too-long line of senseless and unimaginative southern boogie bands, rehashing party-boogie licks and singing the joys of cheap booze and even cheaper women."[5]
The Rolling Stone Album Guide deemed the title track "an obvious Skynyrd rip ... [that] possesses a certain rough charm."[4]
