The Bulletin called the album "His best The Black Sorrows album in a decade!" Rip It Up in Adelaide said: "Beat Club is one of the great Black Sorrows records and also one of the best Australian releases this year". Rave from Brisbane said; "The best thing Joe has done in his long and distinguished career". Time Off Brisbane said: "Hats off to Joe Camilleri. Who would have thought that at this stage of The Black Sorrows' career Joe would have come up with an album to just about rival the definitive Hold On To Me. Beat Club is a triumph!"[4][5][6]
