| AllMusic |   [4] |
AllMusic wrote that the title track "ranks among punk's most vivid depictions of urban decay."[4] SF Weekly called City Baby's Revenge a "real breakthrough ... on which the band developed its trademark sound: sweeping speed-metal rhythms coupled with a thundering double-bass bedrock, perfectly merging punk rage with Sabbath-style production."[5]
Duff McKagan of Guns N' Roses puts City Baby's Revenge in his top 5 records.[6]
