AllMusic wrote that "the tunes are tight, smart pop gems, distinguished from so many other bands by the wild antics of Belew's guitar."[6] The Washington Post called the album "a little too precious and labored ever to attain the unforced grace of good old rock 'n' roll."[1]
Trouser Press wrote: "Challenging, muscular, tuneful, idiosyncratic and accessible, The Bears ... is a superlative record."[8] The Encyclopedia of Popular Music remarked that the album "invoked comparisons with Squeeze and XTC, and for good reason."[7]
