Show All-
Rolling Stone
it’s solid, not spectacular

All Music
one of the group's most undistinguished efforts

Treblwzine
Dirty Work is a shit sandwich.
-
Countdown Kid
suffering from 80’s excess, this album is inconsistency exemplified, sporadic highs and cratering lows, and it nearly ended the Stones as we know them
-
Daily Vault
Dirty Work is the one job that should have been left unfinished

Absolute garbage.

Don Ignacio
I still gave it an 8, which means that it's decent regardless of all my negative words.

Adrian's Music Reviews
Everybody else is sounding shit, so why can't we? We're The Rolling Stones, we'll get away with it". Etc, etc. Oh, I can't be bothered to sit through this crap any longer, so i'll end this review..... right now.

What I want is the Stones as an idea that belongs to history, that's mine as much as theirs. This is it.

The Guardian
The best moments on Dirty Work come when the atmosphere of intra-band animosity in which it was recorded is channelled into the music: One Hit (to the Body) and Winning Ugly fizz with nasty energy. Elsewhere, it’s lifeless, and the period production on Back to Zero has dated abysmally.

Wilson & Alroy's Record Reviews
They do push themselves a little bit here

Only Solitaire
Heaps of garbage which resulted from the tensions between Mick and Keith. It being the mid-Eighties, too.
-
John McFerrin Music Reviews
This album is the sound of a band completely without focus and completely without any cohesivness between its two primary creative forces
-
NY Times
we have here a Stones collection that at its cliched worst still sustains the driving energy and impolite enthusiasm of this rock-and-roll institution, and at its best rises to real eloquence

Clems Music Reviews
It was bound to happen at some point. The Stones finally hit rock bottom.

And all the doubt, all the anger, is somehow channeled brilliantly into the music itself.
