Reception
Rolling Stone's Stephen Holden called Whirlwind "a well-crafted album of imitation rock by a pop sentimentalist unconvincingly crying tough." Concluding "the record merely reaffirms Andrew Gold's skill as a meticulous pop interior designer recycling Sixties guitar hooks into blandly tasteful studio settings."
AllMusic's James Chrispell noted "[t]he hits were not forthcoming" and the "album came and went in nearly the blink of an eye, and not much else was heard from Andrew Gold's once-promising solo career."
