Critical reception

NME wrote that "skeletal percussion is given the illusion of flesh under a covering of drones, scrapes and rusty emulations, and hearty burps from a leprous saxophone ... if it's the blues, it's a very Beefheart blues; which is, of course, the very best kind." [3] The Oklahoma Gazette wrote that "the recording was done in a mid-fi way that plays up the fuzzy edges of the sound and ties in the outlier acoustic bits." [7]
