Critical reception
A review in Dagger said, "'I Fought' has all the rage and bluster that Husker Du ever had while 'Camp Sunshine' is, dare I say a flowery love song... Sunshine Rock shows Bob and his unbeatable rhythm section at the top of their game." Robert Christgau wrote that "this is the first time the solo Mould has come close to what he was once capable of, and that he's managed it this late should encourage us all."Track listing
