Critical reception

 * Stewart Mason, AllMusic: "Voyage to the Bottom of the Road is a surprising and entertaining mid-career reinvention conceptually similar to the Mekons' mid–'80s turn to country music".
 * Ian Fortnam, NME: "The Biscuits' hamfisted post-punk drivel [...] is simply desperate. As usual, the song titles are invariably superior to the actual songs [...], and their lamentable lyrics have far more in common with Rambo than Rimbaud. Ultimately, Half Man Half Biscuit make the kind of music which can only be made by middle-aged men with extremely time-consuming, yet deeply unfulfilling day jobs."
 * Ian Harrison, Select: "It would be bootless to try and list all the joys this LP affords, but it makes Beck sound like Michael Bolton."
