In a retrospective review by Bruce Eder, AllMusic rated the album 4 out of 5 stars, stating that Drippin' Wet is "a surging, forceful concert recording of white Southern soul and blues-rock at its best", showcasing Wet Willie's "hard and muscular" playing, "rich and expressive" singing, and a seamless transition between "guitar-centered blues-rock" and "funkier, sax-driven sound", making it a compelling and must-listen live album for fans of the band.[2]
