Joe Geesin of the webzine "Get Ready to Rock!" retrospectively wrote: ""The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome" kicks off proving that while it wasn't the classic Slade of old, they still had it. The riffs were still big, and the solos were if anything better, more metal if commercial metal." Jeff Giles of "Ultimate Classic Rock" described the album as a "well-written and smartly polished set of songs that topped off the band's rock sound with pop production perfectly in step with current trends."
