Allmusic.com gave Kinks-Size a 3 1/2 star review:
What makes this record more enjoyable than the band’s U.K. albums of the same era is that it was made up largely of singles, albeit many of them failed ones, but still all efforts at luring in millions of listeners 150 seconds or so at a time. The American label essentially distilled the best parts of the group’s work in England, thus giving albums like Kinks Size a distinct advantage. From the raw, slurred “Louie Louie” to the pounding rave-up of “Come on Now,” this record rocks, showing off the better sides of the group’s R&B output and early, formative, Beatles-influenced experiments as well. It may be a pastiche, but it’s also more fun than their accompanying U.K. long-players of the era, and it had no equivalent in England for many years, though most of the tracks have since surfaced on expanded versions of the band’s first two albums.
