Critical response to Bad Hair Day was mixed. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic criticized the lack of humor on the album saying "the music on Bad Hair Day not only lacks the humor, it lacks the impish energy that made Weird Al's first albums such fun." Conversely, Daily Vault reviewer Christopher Thelen praised the album, saying, "What did was remind us all not only that Yankovic was still slugging it out, but that he was more talented than ever, and deserved our attention."
Despite the album's mixed reception, the album's lead single, "Amish Paradise" was met with positive critical reception. The Rolling Stone Record Guide referred to the song as "gut-busting."
