Steve Huey's review: "Adrenalize sounds somewhat tired, formulaic, and bland, qualities absent from the band's best pop-metal work."

Jem Aswad's review: "The band's songwriting and musicianship are stronger than ever..."

J.D. Considine's review: "There's no overriding concept to the album, no sense of the group's confronting its demons or wrestling with the problems of the world; instead, what we get is a seemingly unending string of energetic, hook-heavy, gosh-we-luv-'em songs about girls. A perfect Def Leppard album, in other words." 4 stars.
