Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "album highlights like 'Hyperfaster', 'What's up, Mr. Zero?', and 'Solarsphere' resemble sonic snapshots of prime-era Black Sabbath, simply updated with modern recording technology and augmented with a elements of space rock." [3] Exclaim! thought that "guitarist Dan Moore really lets a Southern rock influence shine in his guitar playing, and drummer Ren Squires truly kicks the bejeezus out of his drums." [7] The Chicago Tribune wrote that "their sound is so immediate, in-yer-face, and of-the-moment vital that it's hard to dub 'em retro in the manner of, say, Lenny Kravtiz." [4]
