Critical reception [ edit ]
Got to Be Tough was met with generally positive reviews. At Metacritic , which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional critics, the album received an average score of 74, based on 10 reviews.[10] Substack -published "Consumer Guide" column, Robert Christgau said, "What I like about these [songs], and Starkey must have too, is how conscious they are. Having long favored danceable love songs, [Hibbert] spends most [of ] these 36 minutes looking time tough in its ugly face. 'Just Brutal,' 'Warning Warning,' and 'Got to Be Tough'; bus fares, low wages, invisible pensions, and picking yourself up off the ground. But he's also proud to stand accused for feeding his enemies."[3] Gigwise rocksteady and ska ".[6] Variety reggae and R&B ".[19]
