Critical reception
Reviewer Toots Daley from British magazine Kerrang! in beginning of 1982 expressed a joy from pleasant surprise made by this album. As per him the "main strength" of Anvil "lies in the guitar/vocal prowess of Lips who comes on like a young Steve Tyler crossed with a butch Rob Halford".
