In a retrospective review, AllMusic rated the album four stars out of five. They noted “I Wanna Get Me a Gun”, “White Lightnin” and “I’ll Pull You Thro” as the best songs on the album and hinted approval of Wyman’s vocals, describing them as “loose and joy-filled”. They also praised the album for avoiding the usual egotism of solo albums: “Though these types of albums can be self-absorbed affairs, Monkey Grip is meant to be a relaxed, unpretentious outlet for the compositions that would never see the light of day in Wyman’s main band – and, as a credit to the bassist, it comes off exactly that way
