Critical reception
Entertainment Weekly called the album "lame," noting that "Junior salutes the girls of Daytona Beach and makes pig calls on the title song." The Calgary Herald dismissed it as "two-bit rock 'n' roll."
The Ottawa Citizen wrote that "Williams's two biker tunes, 'Hog Wild' and 'Iron Horse', both have a spirited kind of energy." The Indianapolis Star concluded that "'Daytona Nights' and 'It's a Start' are sure to appeal to women who don't mind being bedded, then stalked."
