Greg Prato at AllMusic gave Inside The Electric Circus three stars out of five, calling it "[an attempt] to grow musically with each successive release".[6] Canadian journalist Martin Popoff considered the album "slightly more simplified and hard rock-based" than previous works and reminded in his review how Lawless "in retrospect considered this record a failure."[7]

Lawless himself has been critical of Inside The Electric Circus, going as far as to name it his least favorite W.A.S.P. album, calling it a "tired record done by a tired band".[8]

Inside the Electric Circus (с англ. — «Внутри электрического цирка») — третий студийный альбом американской хеви-метал-группы W.A.S.P., выпущенный в 1986 году.
