Davitt Sigerson from Rolling Stone wrote that "even without a milestone recording like 'Billie Jean', Bad is still a better record than Thriller." He believed the filler, such as "Speed Demon", "Dirty Diana" and "Liberian Girl", made Bad "richer, sexier and better than Thriller's forgettables." In a contemporary review for The New York Times, Jon Pareles called Bad "a well-made, catchy dance record by an enigmatic pop star". He said while nothing on the record compared to "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'", the music's "concocted synthesizer-driven arrangements" were "clear" and carried "a solid kick".

Stephen Thomas Erlewine at AllMusic gave Ascend three stars out of five, calling it "essentially a high-octane hard-rock shred record, with few of the blues-rock influences that marked his initial releases, or the jazzy experiments he tried during the middle of the decade." He went on to describe the album as "one for the fans, and they'll likely find enough great moments within this album to be satisfied", but that "it's easy to understand why anyone who isn't in the shred circle would find this a little monotonous." Howe's playing was praised, albeit with a caveat: "Howe is a speed demon, essentially [...] There is a certainly a thrill in hearing him play, but the speed is getting the better of him".
