David Fricke of Rolling Stone Magazine saw in Jazz from Hell, the most binding and most accessible presentation of Zappa's understanding of popular music since the album Hot Rats.

The rock journalist Barry Miles complained that the drums mechanically repeat the rhythm of the pieces was " strange " as the " mechanical version of a singing saw ." The long tones are not sounded, and the vibrato is failed. The live recorded with musicians play Saint- Étienne contrasting it to huge.
