Reception

Aiding & Abetting gave Desipramine a positive review, calling it "much edgier sound than the first album" and saying "the change in sophistication and general adventurousness is impressive." [4] Larry Dean Miles at Black Monday was somewhat critical of the album, saying "there are no hooks, the vocals are grating, and the rhythms are erratic in their pulsating monotony" but "the female vocal arrangements of Daemon Cadman are the saving grace to the monotony of Waiting for God's" [5] Sonic Boom praised the band for being able "to push the envelope of their own music by incorporating noise concepts into their already unique pseudo-Darkwave style ultimately yielding another new hybrid sound." [6]
