Trouser Press called the debut "a surprisingly strong album that dramatically shows the rootsy sensibility brought to G n’ R. It sounds like a good Keith Richards solo album (and is actually much better than the album Richards released around the same time)." The album was named 16th best album of the year by Kerrang!
