''[[The New Rolling Stone Album Guide]]'' described the album as an "inspired monstrosity ... [an] assault of glorious noise".<ref name=Lowe/> [[AllMusic]] writer Steve Huey wrote, "despite the absence of a conceptual framework, the unfocused sprawl of ''Uncle Meat'' is actually a big part of its appeal. It's exciting to hear one of the most creatively fertile minds in rock pushing restlessly into new territory, even if he isn't always quite sure where he's going."<ref name=Huey/>
