AllMusic[1]

AllMusic gave the album a negative retrospective review, saying the songs are all competent but adhere too closely to Steppenwolf formulas that had already been played out.[1]

Hour Of The Wolf did not have a signature hit single like their previous albums did. "Caroline. . .," written by Mars Bonfire, was released as a single but failed to chart.
