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."[16] The Calgary Herald deemed Haircut "boogie blues and rock 'n' roll ... And, yep, he hasn`t changed a thing."[13] 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'."[17]

The Canadian Press called it "another slice of devil-may-care, comically anti-authoritarian riff rock."[18] The Boston Globe concluded that "Thorogood doesn't gain any dramatic ground, but his loyalty to his favorite idioms remains genuine."[10] The Indianapolis Star praised the "stark, deliberative" "Killer's Bluze".[14]
