Reception

Blabbermouth assigned the album a rating of eight out of ten, describing it as "full of songs with real character and a clear desire to lift spirits" and noting it "wipes the floor with most of the competition."
Steve Beebee of Kerrang! stated, "Taken for what it is, a retro-flavoured sleaze rock album, Roar Like Thunder hits the mark. But it's an echo from an era in rock that ain't ever coming back," giving it a rating of two out of five.
