The album was mostly well received by critics. Metalreviews.com wrote that it "had more in common with the burgeoning Seattle grunge scene than with the doom metal underground." [10] Ned Raggett of AllMusic criticized the similarity between most of the album's tracks, writing that "while things do sound great throughout, songwise there's not much variety -- hasn't hurt a lot of bands, perhaps, but in the end most listeners would want some sort of break." [4] Thomas Kupfer of Rock Hard praised the albums high energy guitar riffs and controlled vocals, positively comparing its sound to the band Helmet. [9]
