Reception
Alright It Was Frank... received favorable reviews from multiple music critics, including Robert Christgau, who gave it an A−. The Washington Post's Geoffrey Himes also reviewed the album favorably, writing that "it takes country-rock from the heartland, speeds it up and crams it full of the twisted commentary only a former rock critic could come up with." John Wooley of Tulsa World also gave the album a favorable review, describing it as "an album  that sizzles with conviction" and "one that seldom lets its substantial intellect get in the way of its emotion."
