Cold Snap is an album by the American blues musician Albert Collins, released in 1986.

[6] Robert Christgau called the album an obvious attempt by Alligator to win for Collins a Grammy.

[8] The St. Petersburg Times deemed it "a hefty dose of Texas-style blues, augmented by the sounds of Chicago's south side.

"[15] The Chicago Tribune wrote: "The skeptical should head directly to 'Too Many Dirty Dishes', where Collins' riffs seem to be literally scrubbing the pots and pans.

"[16] The Providence Journal-Bulletin declared that "what really strikes the listener this time is the masterful, ice-blue singing—tasty as a snow cone and brutal as frostbite—and the wry, semi-detached lyrics.
