AMG Review of Run with the Pack

William Ruhlmann
All Music Guide

By this, their third album, it was becoming increasingly clear that Bad Company's music was formulaic, although they did try adding strings on the title track, which is one of the rewrites of the song "Bad Company." With the band touring the world and momentum on its side, Run with the Pack shot up the charts, but the album didn't get quite as high or stay quite as long as its predecessors. The biggest single was a cover of the Coasters' hit "Young Blood."
