Describing the single, Chicago Reader's Bill Wyman commented "it's a rollicking folk number, complete with wordless shouts and a rousing finale".[1]
In 1989, Mike Bohem of the Los Angeles Times called "Throw the 'R' Away" a "celebration of the thick accent that some experts had said would hold them back".[2]
