Reviewing the album for Smash Hits in 1980, Red Starr says, "Strong enough to surprise the cynics but too mod cliched to make much impression elsewhere." Starr says the band write "some strong pop tunes" and adds that their lyrics "show the potential to contribute something original".[2]

Allmusic - 4.5 out of 5 - The band's debut picks up on all of the elements that made the early Jam albums brilliant, a certain reverence for '60s pop with a youthful, forward-looking attitude, punk's high-charged energy and strong songwriting. Beat Boys in the Jet Age is an unfortunately forgotten album which features some of the era's best teen anthems and serves as a highpoint of the often disappointing mod revival.
