The New York Times noted that Handsome Dick Manitoba "certainly has flair, but he lacks a very distinct singing voice or style."[5] Trouser Press praised the album as "another helping of brilliant Shernoff originals."[6] Martin Popoff ranked the album 12th on his "Top 20 albums of Punk’s first year, 1977", in Goldmine.[7]
