The Pittsburgh Press noted that "there's a thinness to the whole disc".^[14] The Plain Dealer said that Artful Dodger "lost its unaffectedness and warmth and declined into just one more hard rock purveyor".^[15] The Detroit Free Press called Babes on Broadway "a finely crafted rock and roll album with everything from hard rock to soft romance".^[16] Robert Christgau wrote that the music "isn't power pop any more—sounds almost like Angel, or Queen... Sounds pretty desperate, too."^[11]

MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide called the album the band's "least essential", noting that it was "done in by too much plodding material".^[17] The New Rolling Stone Record Guide stated that Artful Dodger, "desperate for an audience ... resorted to formula."^[13]
