''[[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."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Niester |first1=Alan |title=Flirtin' with Disaster Molly Hatchet |work=The Globe and Mail |date=27 Oct 1979 |page=F5}}</ref>

''[[The Rolling Stone Album Guide]]'' deemed the title track "an obvious Skynyrd rip ... [that] possesses a certain rough charm."<ref name=RS/>
