[5] Sonic Boom called the album "a reasonably conclusive collection of recent caustic coldwave industrial chaos" and "a very strong coldwave industrial compilation albeit heavy on previously signed bands." [6] The album peaked at number six on CMJ New Music Monthly's top dance releases in 1995. [7]
