      Critical reception



      USA Today called Ward "an overlooked virtuoso." OffBeat considered Fear No Evil "one of the great soul discs of recent years." The Chicago Tribune wrote that it "crackles with funky, Memphis soul arrangements, gospel-blues vocals ... and, most of all, Ward's distinctive guitar playing." Robert Christgau considered Ward to be "a better-than-average writer, a hooky arranger, and a sneaky soloist you remember for the wobbly sound of his Magnatone amp alone."
      The New York Times determined that "the percussive urgency of '60s soul and '70s funk ... fuels Robert Ward's superb Fear No Evil." The Commercial Appeal praised the "jovial quips" and "explosive solos." The Colorado Springs Gazette-Telegraph listed Fear No Evil among the 10 best albums of 1991.
      AllMusic deemed Fear No Evil "one of the classic blues/soul albums of the '90s."
