A contemporary review in ''[[Creem]]'' savaged the album for its nondescript nature, concluding "this stuff is so soddenly bland already that the [[Muzak]] folks are going to have their work cut out for them".<ref name="Riegel">{{Cite magazine |last=Riegel|first=Richard |date=April 1983 |title=Supertramp: ''...Famous Last Words...''
