Consequence of Sound listed the album as a key example of proto-punk, observing "lean aggression" and a "jolting", "in-your-face" approach, and described their rendition of Chuck Berry`s "Beautiful Delilah" as the first punk rock cover.[5]
The AllMusic review by Richie Unterberger assessed the album as lacking in consistency, commenting: "As R&B cover artists, the Kinks weren`t nearly as adept as the Stones and Yardbirds; Ray Davies` original tunes were, "You Really Got Me" aside, perfunctory Mersey Beat-ish pastiches... [the] tunes that producer Shel Talmy penned for the group... were simply abominable."[2]
Rock critic Mike Saunders of Rolling Stone had a more positive opinion of the Kinks` debut LP, described the album as one of their "successful rock and roll albums".[3]
