Q described the album as "nine painfully slow nuggets of sonic indigestion."{{Cite magazine|last=Clarke|first=Jeremy|date=5 March 1991|title=Boss Hogg Cold Hands|magazine=Q|volume=55|pages=65}} Trouser Press noted that "its reliance on in-jokes ... and calculatedly rakish rhythmic stratagems make it the aural equivalent of a vanity press book."{{cite web |last1=Sprague |first1=Deborah |title=Boss Hog |url=https://trouserpress.com/reviews/boss-hog/ |website=Trouser Press |access-date=25 July 2024}}
