Initial reviews were evenly divided. Some reviewers, like Tim Holmes of ''Magazine/RollingStone'' (3 out of 5 stars), were bewildered by the hiring of Sammy Hagar. Ribert Christgau of ''The Village Voice'' graded it a C+, and was skeptical of Hagar's hire, wondering if it would drag down Eddie's guitar work. The retrospective conclusion of Stephen Thomas Erlewine of [=AllMusic=] (4 out of 5 stars) was that, while Hagar's persona did not lend well to certain plays at the fact that he was the replacement, the album itself worked because of their desire to keep the party going.

In 1985, Eddie was getting his Ferrari worked on, when the mechanic suggested Sammy Hagar. He had put together a decent solo career since his start with the band Montrose in the early 70s, scoring three Top 40 hits, most recently 1984's "I Can't Drive 55".
