AllMusic | [6] |
USA Today wrote: "An idiosyncratic Cream for the '90s, Walt Mink adds daring innovation to the power trio formula."[7] The St. Petersburg Times called the album a "kooky concoction of psychedelia and heavy metal."[8]
The Orlando Sentinel determined that Walt Mink "has the chops and creativity of King's X but with more concision and without all the artsy overambition and concept baggage."[9] Stereo Review labeled Miss Happiness "a mixture of guitar-driven sass and twee-voiced smarm."[10]
AllMusic deemed the album "one of the brightest debuts of the '90s."[6]
All songs written by John Kimbrough except Pink Moon, written by Nick Drake.
