AllMusic[3]

The Rolling Stone Album Guide[5]

Robert Christgau praised the "cheerfully amoral anticrime versifying of 'Just Watch'."[4]

The Rolling Stone Album Guide opined that "the attempts at singing ... are flat-out disasters."[5] AllMusic noted that UTFO "were essentially already in stylistic retreat as the gimmick tag they picked up for the success of 'Roxanne, Roxanne' was proving difficult to shake."[3]
