AllMusic called the album "an energetic, skankin' party album fusing ska with punk and hard rock, with more of an emphasis on ska than the band would show on later records." [6] The New Rolling Stone Album Guide wrote that the album "doesn't blend ska and hardcore so much as it bashes them together." [7] Trouser Press called it "a strong and confident debut." [8]
