The Hartford Courant called the album "pretty dull stuff best suited for Harley dudes."[6]Guitar Player wrote: "A devotee of the New York Dolls and T Rex, Gilby goes straight for the jugular on 'Punk Rock Pollution', a sarcastic swipe at three-chord wannabes."[7]
AllMusic deemed the album "an endearing collection of hard rock indebted to glam, sleazy boogie and blues-rock."[2]
