Joe Elliott, observed
Classic Rock, "is the first to admit that Leppard aren't
Bob Dylan. Sometimes they're barely even
Bob the Builder. But then that's the beauty of it – if ever a band were cliché-proof, it's Def Leppard. If nothing else, you have to admire their sheer brass balls. With its crackling guitar and nuclear-detonation bottom end, 'Let's Go' doesn't so much revisit 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' as move into its spare room, steal its
cornflakes and start sleeping with its wife. But even that pales into insignificance next to the finger-poppin' white-boy funk of 'Are You Man Enough?', which rips off
Queen's '
Another One Bites the Dust' so shamelessly that it should come with its own stick-on handlebar moustaches… But for the most part,
Def Leppard is the sound of a band who have rediscovered their sense of purpose." Rating the album 3.5 out of 5,
Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that
Def Leppard is "a summation of where the band is now: they love the past, both their own and their inspirations, but they're not looking back, they're loving the life they live." ==Track listing==
