The ''[[Calgary Herald]]'' missed "the juvenile appeal that Wolf lucked into just before he and his J. Geils Band buddies went their separate ways."<ref name=CH/> The ''[[Toronto Star]]'' wrote that "it's a charming record, a lively and knowledgeable tome that finds its ground somewhere between the Detroit and Philadelphia schools of soul, while standing firm on a harder rock footing."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Potter |first1=Mitch |title=Peter Wolf Up to No Good |work=Toronto Star |date=23 Mar 1990 |page=D18}}</ref>

The ''[[Ottawa Citizen]]'' labeled some of the songs "classic primal funk with a conscience."<ref name=OC/> ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'' dismissed the album as "just one more attempt to capitalize on the appealing, but somewhat limited, rockaboogie sound Geils and company milked throughout the seventies."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Niester |first1=Alan |title=Up to No Good Peter Wolf |work=The Globe and Mail |date=23 Apr 1990 |page=C7}}</ref>
