Trouser Press called the album an "enthusiastic if offhand outing," while acknowledging Simins's "typically muscular contribution." [8] The Guardian thought that "the resolutely low-fi recording quality mashes the sound into a muddy sub-heavy metal broth that pleads for the description 'bloody racket', but this has its own bizarre charm." [9] The Columbus Dispatch deemed it "a loud, distorted, violent, unpretty, harsh, nasty slab of music," writing that "the over-the-top rock 'n' roll here is mostly humorous." [10] The Asbury Park Press deemed it "a mighty fine white-trash rock 'n' roll album." [11]

Stephen Howell, in his AllMusic review, wrote: "Crunt proves that three chords and a childish mentality can be taken a long way. This is simplistic rock & roll that manages to create a fast and memorable hook for anyone within earshot." [12]
