Reviewing the album in Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies, Robert Christgau wrote:

After twenty years of raking it in from the shadows, he's finally figured out a way of applying his basically comic bass/baritone to rock and roll. Studio-psychedelic New Orleans, echoes of the Band and Dr. John, some brilliant minor r&b mixed in with the dumb stuff. My God—at the moment he's more interesting than Tina.^[3]

Reissues[]

Bad Dreams was reissued in 2012 by BGO Records on the compilation CD Blues Roots/Bad Dreams.^[4]
