It later appeared in the 2009 video game Brütal Legend.[2] Critical reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1score = {{Rating|4.5|5}}[3] | rev2 = Collector's Guide to Heavy Metal | rev2Score = 6/10[4] | rev3 = Kerrang! | rev3score = {{Rating|4|5}}[5] | rev4 = Rock Hard | rev4score = 9.0/10[6] }} In a contemporary review, Paul Henderson of Kerrang! found Street Lethal "a pretty good album despite the occasional over-emphasis on 'melt-down' guitar pyrotechnics"; he praised the song structures, which he thought would more likely turn up on a Van Halen album, and the band's musicianship which "would put to shame many of the so-called 'big names' of heavy rock."[5] Because of Jeff Martin's vocals and Paul Gilbert's rhythmic guitar work, Rock Hard reviewer found similarities with the early works of Japanese bands Anthem and Loudness and concluded that "if you are on speed metal with level and melody, you can also blindly access this product from Mike Varney's inexhaustible talent supply".[6] Andy Hinds at AllMusic called Street Lethal "essentially a showcase for then teenaged guitar prodigy Paul Gilbert" and "skillfully executed, Judas Priest-style metal". Jeff Martin's singing was also likened to that of Judas Priest's Rob Halford and the rhythm section praised for "their part in maintaining the excitement." Hinds recommended the album for fans of shred, saying that it "has plenty to drool over."[3] Canadian journalist Martin Popoff appreciated Paul Gilbert's rocking guitar "not in the classical fugue state so prevalent on other shred records" and the mix of speed metal with "sturdy party rock songs."[4] Track listing{{Track listing| headline = Side one | title1 = Frenzy | note1 = instrumental | writer1 = Paul Gilbert | length1 = 1:45 | title2 = Street Lethal | writer2 = Gilbert, Jeff Martin | length2 = 3:41 | title3 = Into the Night | writer3 = Gilbert, Martin | length3 = 3:34 | title4 = Blowin' Up the Radio | writer4 = Gilbert, Martin | length4 = 3:10 | title5 = Hotter Than Fire | writer5 = Steve Fontano, Martin, Mark Lehman | length5 = 3:02 | title6 = On the Loose | writer6 = Gilbert, Martin | length6 = 3:07 }}{{Track listing | headline = Side two | title7 = Loud and Clear | writer7 = Gilbert, Martin | length7 = 3:42 | title8 = Y.R.O. | note8 = instrumental | writer8 = Gilbert | length8 = 3:13 | title9 = Dangerous Love | writer9 = Gilbert, Martin | length9 = 3:13 | title10 = Getaway | writer10 = Gilbert, Martin | length10 = 3:10 | title11 = Rock It | writer11 = Gilbert, Martin | length11 = 3:58 | total_length = 35:35 }} Personnel
