Music website Allmusic gave Stack Waddy four out of five stars. Reviewer Dave Thompson highlights this work as one of the "must hear" rock albums of the early 1970s; pointing out the brutal and uncompromising interpretations on many songs as one of the most striking features of the album. He ends his comment by saying that: "...this is one of those few albums that genuinely requires you to wear protective clothing".
