"The Dirty Knobs sound like old friends on Wreckless Abandon ... Mike Campbell's ridiculously named hobby band The Dirty Knobs step into the limelight ... Across five decades, Mike Campbell averaged two co-writes on every album Tom Petty released. On this, his first solo project since Petty passed away, it's clear that alongside a lesser songwriter he could have had a far higher quota. Heartbreakers fans will love Wreckless Abandon because it tells great stories".

"Wreckless Abandon doesn't sound like a Heartbreakers record but it, unsurprisingly, pulls from a lot of the same influences. It's more garage than much of Petty's work, although he and the Heartbreakers were certainly capable of rocking out. And Campbell's voice lacks Petty's sad twang, instead showing off a proto-punk, insolent vocal style, that often smirks at the listener in a Petty manner".
