Critical reception

The Chicago Tribune deemed I Am Just a Rebel a "rollicking album," writing that "Billy Hill delivers heat, humor and heart." The Advocate wrote: "Imagine Levon Helm getting together with Little Feat to play some hillbilly music and you have some idea of what Billy Hill sounds like ... There's lots of hot playing, and the songs are good, too." The Buffalo News concluded that Billy Hill "have a big, fun, 'bloozy' sound that is heavy on slide guitar, somewhat similar to the Rolling Stones' occasional forays into country." The Orange County Register stated that the "music is down and dirty, R&B-influenced barroom country rock with a ballad or two thrown in for good measure." USA Today listed I Am Just a Rebel as the 25th best country album of 1989. Track listing
