Critical reception
The Windsor Star praised the "piledriving, blues-rock sound," writing that "the group has tightened up the loose ends of its earlier efforts for a strong record."[ The Richmond Times-Dispatch called Ten Women "one of the best rock `n' roll albums of the year to date," writing that "Hunter is a passionate vocalist who avoids false sentimentality with his romantic lyrics."]
The Houston Chronicle said that "haunting vocals, crisp rock-steady rhythms and delicate guitar work power these cagey melodies."[ The Omaha World-Herald concluded that the "lack of pretentiousness would doom a lesser band to the bland heap, but it makes Wire Train all the more accessible and enjoyable."]
AllMusic wrote that "the magic of the band's original sound, a sort of Neil Young-meets-the-Paisley Underground gloss on early-'80s jangle pop, is largely missing here."[
