Ad un primo ascolto il nuovo disco ricorda in alcuni tratti il precedente "Ballbreaker" per i toni blueseggianti; in altri punti ricorda "The Razors Edge" per l'incisività delle canzoni e per il sound delle chitarre che in tutto l'album ha un timbro brillante e metallico.

 RollingStone.com: Stiff Upper Lip : AC/DC : Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Stiff Upper Lip -- an album that comes twenty years after AC/DC were written off following the death of frontman Bon Scott -- is everything we've come to expect from the band and absolutely nothing more.
A wonderfully juvenile set of leering rawk, Lip is the first new album in five years from these middle-aged purists.
The album has two factors in its favor: It's even louder than normal, and it was produced by George Young (the older brother of guitarists Angus and Malcolm Young), which means Lip is old-school all the way; this is the classic Back in Black lineup bashing out minimalist arena rock.

And at that age, the schoolboy getup preferred by Aussie axmeister Angus Young is less cute than disturbing, as are the sounds put forth by the presumably scarred mass that was once frontman Brian Johnson's vocal cords.
Fortunately, Lip places less aural emphasis on Johnson's pummeled pipes than on the type of thunderous riffs and rock-solid rhythms that have made AC/DC a band of choice for an entire generation of now-thirtysomething headbangers.
Such listeners will be thrilled by cuts like the CD's title track, a three-and-a-half-minute slab of loud, leering fun designed to appeal to the perpetual adolescent in all of us (okay, nearly all of us).
