Curtis Zimmermann from AllMusic said "Go Bush! is an edgy blend of hard rock, new wave, and country-rock. The album tends to provoke a whirlwind of emotions with its inspiring political anthems and hard-driving protest songs. The intense opener 'No Fear', a song about hometown violence, sets the tone for the album that despite its upbeat feel has rather dark undertones. Some songs try to hide their anger with a catchy melody, ,From the Bush, however, is a bombastic assault against contemporary Australia." Zimmermann concluded saying "With its musical diversity and bold statements Go Bush! is easily one of the best Aboriginal rock albums to come out of the '80s".[3]
