Allmusic.com gave Bad Company a 4 1/2 star review:
From the wreckage of Free came Bad Company, a group fronted by singer Paul Rodgers and featuring his drummer bandmate Simon Kirke, Mott the Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs, and King Crimson bassist Boz Burrell. The latter is something of a ringer, suggesting an undercurrent of adventure in the band, but as the group’s eponymous 1974 debut decidedly proves, the band is proudly not progressive…. Appropriately enough given their name, there’s a sense of slow, churning menace to Bad Company. Even the quickest songs — the blues boogies of “Can’t Get Enough” and “Movin’ On” — don’t exactly proceed at a rapid clip, a steadiness that makes the quartet seem heavier. It’s hard rock painted in stark black & white: cranked guitars mirrored by a deliberate wallop from the rhythm section, a rock & roll so loud and basic it wound up not aging much at all even though it pretty much defined mid-’70s album rock.
