Vertical Smiles

Eduardo Rivadavia of Allmusic largely detested the album, citing it as having "one of the most misogynistic title/cover tandems...since Montrose's equally tasteless and musically inadequate Jump on It eight years earlier." Though he conceded that "die-hard Blackfoot fans may be able to tolerate partially convincing hard rockers like 'Get It On' and 'Young Girl'," he concluded by stating "the surrounding embarrassments are simply too painful to warrant anyone else being exposed to the torment and disappointment that is Vertical Smiles." ==Track listing==
