Allmusic.com gave Dylan this review:
Commonly regarded as the worst album in Bob Dylan’s catalog, Dylan is a collection of nine outtakes from the Self Portrait album Columbia assembled after the singer briefly jumped ship for David Geffen’s fledgling Asylum Records. …While Dylan is indeed a negligible album, it isn’t unlistenable — it has a pleasant pop/rock sheen and Dylan sings in his Nashville Skyline croon. Nevertheless, it adds nothing to his canon, and only die-hard fans with a perverse sense of humor will find the record worth a listen.
