The Globe and Mail wrote: "Almost oblivious to the strides their punk brethren have been making toward larger audiences and heavier influence, they continue to play things loudly and strongly while handsome Dick Manitoba struts." [7]
AllMusic, which was critical of the band's previous album, released a favorable review of Bloodbrothers, stating that it "stands as a good example of what the band sounded like on a good night," as well as calling it "the Dictators' most rockingest and most musical album." [3]
