Critical reception
Record World called the title track "a philosophical, mid-tempo funk tune with some interesting melodic and instrumental hooks."In his review of the album, music critic Robert Christgau held a somewhat neutral view, writing that "they're not a rock band or even a boogie band anymore—they're a funk band" but that "'Old Folks Boogie' beats anything on the last two albums, 'Time Loves a Hero' tries, and 'Rocket in My Pocket' is a Lowell George readymade like you didn't think he had in him anymore."
