Critical reception
In a retrospective review for AllMusic, critic Dave Thompson gave the album three and a half out of five stars and wrote that "Private Oyster's only real downfall lies in the less than lavish production that is draped across the grooves." adding that "the record still sounds good. But it should have been better."
