}}Billboard wrote that A Man Under the Influence was "the best studio performance Escovedo has ever delivered".[8] Similarly, Joshua Klein wrote in The A.V. Club that the album "could be Escovedo's best yet",[9] and James Mann said in PopMatters that the album was "far and away his best work".[10]

Several critics also commended Stamey's production on the album: Joe Tangari wrote in Pitchfork that on the track "Velvet Guitar", his production "keeps [the five guitarists on that track] all in their respective places, avoiding a sloppy mess."[3] Additionally, Raoul Hernandez wrote in The Austin Chronicle that Stamey "deserves credit for the LP's overall cohesion of sound",[2] while Michael Barclay of Exclaim! wrote that Stamey's production "captures the mood perfectly".[11]

Conversely, Robert Christgau of The Village Voice selected "Wave" and "Castanets" as "choice cuts", indicating good songs "on an album that isn't worth your time or money."[12]
