Reception

In The Boston Phoenix, Mark Moses wrote that with Truth Decay, Burnett became "a cult figure who deserves his cult" and that the album "shed the Alpha Band’s exoticism for the coarse, slapped-down feel of rockabilly and C&W." In his review, music critic Brett Hartenbach of AllMusic called the album a "modest, passionate gem." and wrote "Burnett delivers a collection of parables, tales, and personal struggles propelled by his strong beliefs and some captivating roots rock."
