AllMusic[1]

Crashes did not chart in the United Kingdom. In the United States, it "bubbled under" the Billboard 200 album chart at number 204.[2] Rolling Stone published a favourable review of the album upon its initial release.[3]

Retrospectively, Trouser Press called the album a "passable, but hardly a great follow-up" to Shades in Bed.[4]
