After receiving favorable reviews from multiple critics, including Robert Christgau, Alright It Was Frank... found its way to multiple other rock music critics, including Blurt's Fred Mills and Jud Cost.[1] According to Anderson himself, a copy of the album also made its way to an independent record store in Germany, which prompted the store's owner to start his own label, Blue Million Miles Records.[3]
Alright It Was Frank... received favorable reviews from multiple music critics, including Robert Christgau, who gave it an A−.[1][4] The Washington Post's Geoffrey Himes also reviewed the album favorably, writing that "it takes country-rock from the heartland, speeds it up and crams it full of the twisted commentary only a former rock critic could come up with."[6] John Wooley of Tulsa World also gave the album a favorable review, describing it as "an album that sizzles with conviction" and "one that seldom lets its substantial intellect get in the way of its emotion."[7]
