The Globe and Mail opined that "the truth is that Mr. Bachman, for all the years of dragging himself around this continent (and through Europe, too), has bamboozled countless thousands into following his ponderous, paleolithic rock while adding not a single tune or lyric that will last any longer than it takes to shuttle his albums to the used record bin."[4]
