===Accolades===
In 1991, Eddy ranked ''Done with Mirrors'' at number 409 in his list of the 500 best [[heavy metal music|heavy metal]] albums. Believing the record was the only mid-1980s musical 'comeback' that lived up to its hype, he highlighted the chaotic opening song where Perry's guitar works similarly to a [[horn section]], "My Fist Your Face" for its "hyperbolically misogynous [[rap]] about teenybop hookers and [[Betty Boop]]", the [[AC/DC]], Police and ZZ Top touchstones on the succeeding songs, the belated "show-offy" ending of "Gypsy Boots", and the "[[Chuck Berry]]-gone-heavy danceability" of "The Hop".<ref name="Eddy2">{{cite book |last1=Eddy |first1=Chuck |title=Stairway to Hell: The 500 Best Heavy Metal Albums in the Universe |date=1991 |publisher=Harmony Books |location=New York |isbn=0517575418 |page=177}}</ref> He added: "Rocking too hard for [[album-oriented rock|AOR]], it died on the charts, and the band got scared", leading to their commercial reinvention on ''[[Permanent Vacation (Aerosmith album)|Permanent Vacation]]'' (1987).<ref name="Eddy2" />
