David Randall of the webzine Get Ready to Rock! wrote: "Rockers does exactly what it says on the tin and well annotated notes guide us through the band's growth. If short on subtlety, Rockers does flag up an excellent reissue series which reiterates Slade as one of our most colourful if under-estimated rock bands." [4]
