Critical reception
The Windsor Star wrote that "the guitar-slinging motor mouth offers another round of stinging and rocking blues, featuring that consistently fat sound with which his band has made its trademark style." The Calgary Herald deemed Haircut "boogie blues and rock 'n' roll ... And, yep, he hasn`t changed a thing." The Colorado Springs Gazette-Telegraph opined that "since shtick is exactly what Thorogood's become reduced to, the only phrase that comes to mind listening to this is, 'get a real job'."

The Canadian Press called it "another slice of devil-may-care, comically anti-authoritarian riff rock." The Boston Globe concluded that "Thorogood doesn't gain any dramatic ground, but his loyalty to his favorite idioms remains genuine." The Indianapolis Star praised the "stark, deliberative" "Killer's Bluze".
