- Michael Schenker's pairing with former Rainbow wailer Graham Bonnet made perfect sense, since Schenker's facile, classically flavored Euro metal guitar style is a graceful extension of Ritchie Blackmore's innovations. The results on Assault Attack are pleasing; while Schenker predictably delivers top-notch performances, Bonnet's vocals are edgier and more engaging than those of former MSG singer Gary Barden.

Professional Reviews: Record Collector (magazine) (p.95) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "There's more than enough to satisfy...with the title track showcasing Schenker riffage and 'Samurai' offering catchy organ and guitar."
