Suzi Quatro is the debut solo studio album by the American glam rock singer-songwriter and bass guitarist of the same name. It was originally released in late 1973, by the record label Rak. The album was titled Can the Can in Australia.

Critical reception

In a contemporary review for The Village Voice, music critic Robert Christgau gave the album a "B" and wrote that "nothing in her own songwriting equals the one-riff rock of the two Chapman-Chinn singles, especially "48 Crash," and the last time I got off on someone dressed entirely in leather was before John Kay started repeating himself."[4] In a retrospective review for AllMusic Dave Thompson gave the album four and half stars and wrote that "Suzi Quatro remains one of the most nakedly sexual albums of the entire glam rock epoch -- and one of the hottest debuts of the decade."[2]
