The Vancouver Sun wrote that "lead guitarist Greg Fields has the meanest, meatiest riffs this side of Angus Young."{{cite news |last1=Mackie |first1=John |title=Rock/Pop |work=Vancouver Sun |date=7 Mar 1991 |page=F20}} The St. Louis Post-Dispatch concluded: "You have to hand it to Rhino Bucket. They own every AC/DC album, and they've obviously never listened to anything else."{{cite news |last1=Pick |first1=Steve |title=Rating the Records |work=St. Louis Post-Dispatch |date=October 26, 1990 |page=4F}} The Toronto Sun called the album "full of chugging riffs, screaming vocals, half-sung/half-chanted choruses, and song titles that are little more than thinly disguised ways of saying the same thing."{{cite news |last1=Sakamoto |first1=John |title=Why, It's Son of AC/DC |newspaper=Toronto Sun |date=November 6, 1990 |department=Entertainment |page=49}}
