Classic Pop 6/10 [4]

Classic Pop felt that the album is "at its best when it's rawest", calling "Don't Do Me No Wrong" "a dirty blues jam whose two-note bass riff is spruced up by rowdy blasts of harmonica" and opining that the closing track "Going Down Blues" "suggests [Quatro's] not going down without a fight". [4] An overview of Quatro's albums by Ian Fortnam of Classic Rock stated that No Control "boasts an engaging freshness that gives the distinct impression of a new beginning rather than a swansong" as well as a "cohesive modern production [that] makes sense of a characteristic mixture of styles".
