On Allmusic, William Ruhlmann wrote, "By billing this album to the David Bromberg Band, Bromberg signals that the listener can expect to hear more than just his adenoidal voice and variety of acoustic instruments. But then, that just means it's as eclectic as most David Bromberg albums. The lead-off track "I Want to Go Home" has a blues-rock feel; horns wail into a Dixieland swarm during the old folk tune "Stealin'"; and then comes a medley of old-timey country tunes played on banjo, mandolin, and guitar. That's just the first three tracks..."[3]Audio magazine said, "Reckless Abandon demonstrates David's ever-growing confidence and improvement as vocalist and bandleader. Despite [some] flaws, this is still his best-recorded and best-played studio effort."[4]
