The Guardian
Let It Ride garnered a mixed reception upon release. At the time the Shed's were deemed to be taking on a 'new', punchier sound following first hearings of their comeback single, "She Left Me on Friday", with various reviewers drawing comparisons to both Black Grape and Blur. The NME, who labelled the song "the most fiendishly clever Blur parody ever", went on to liken the album's sound to that of both The Rolling Stones and The Stone Roses in their lukewarm review;
Wombling somewhere between The Rolling Stones and The Stone Roses (check the title track and 'In A Hole' ) you get the sneaking feeling that the band members themselves are still more entertaining than the music they make, but face up to it, kiddoes, any group who can sell 250,000 copies of 'A Maximum High' whilst retaining all the credibility and sophistication of a Millets cagoule must have something going for them.
Writing for The Guardian in June 1998, Caroline Sullivan saw Let It Ride as an improvement on the band's previous album, stating that "it aspires to bigger things, and almost gets there singer Rick Witter has even acquired a raspiness that complements the beefy music".
