all the fire and inspiration that had made the previous year's Machine Head their greatest triumph mysteriously vanished from sight. Vastly inferior to all three of its famous predecessors, the album revealed an exhausted band clearly splintering at the seams.

Rolling Stone
1973 - Who Do You Think We Are! sounds so damn tired in spots that it’s downright disconcerting.
-
Mike Ladano
generally considered the weakest of the original MkII studio quadrilogy. That still makes it better than many bands’ best albums.

Blog Critics
2011 - It remains a strong album nearly 40 years after its release as it provides some of the best hard rock of the era.

Something Else Reviews
2016 - not as perfect as In Rock and not as successful as Machine Head, but more focused than Fireball and gifted with its own particular version of grace under pressure. And if grace under pressure doesn’t make one eligible for some kind of award, I don’t know what does.

2016 - I wasn't expecting much out of Who Do We Think We Are and came out surprised.

Oh so oh so oh so dull. ... but overall, this just looks like a record made on occasion, and that's about it.

John McFerrin Music Reviews
So sad that such a great band went out on such a non-great note.

Wilson & Alroy's Record Reviews
it's as solid as any of the band's records from this period

Ultimate Classic Rock
far and away, the weakest album cut by the vaunted Mk. II lineup ... Nevertheless, they still conjured up some magic with the perennial fan favorite “Woman From Tokyo,” the hypnotizing “Super Trouper,” and kinetic blues shuffle “Rat Bat Blue,” before taking a nap across much of the remaining tracks.

Metal Reviews
they managed to place enough energetic crunch and tasteful solos, melodies and hooks in there to make it the timeless classic it is
