Critical reception to the record was poor. Jones's absence coupled with drummer Topper Headon having been kicked out (for various reasons, including heroin addiction) led many to regard Cut the Crap as a Joe Strummer solo album. Indeed, the album was set against Jones's This Is Big Audio Dynamite (1985) as just that http://www.geocities.com/thewhiteriot/review20.html. Strummer would later disown the album.
