Music
According to AllMusic, the album "mashes a few convincing pop metal hits with moderate stabs at the Black Crowes' roots rock purity".[2]
Reception
The album's reception was mostly positive. Steve Huey from AllMusic gave the album three-and-a-half stars, saying it "benefits from a more stripped-down production than The Great Radio Controversy, using fewer overdubs and thereby enhancing Tesla's bluesy, acoustic-tinged rock & roll".[3]
In 2005, Psychotic Supper was ranked number 475 in Rock Hard magazine's book The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.[4] The album was retrospectively called Tesla's peak by Ultimate Classic Rock writer Matt Wardlaw in 2016.[5]
