Mark Deming of AllMusic wrote that the album combines the "pure-beef guitar work of hard rock with the lean, hard melodies of punk", calling it a "dose of pure energy" that "shows off the no-quarter vocals and relentless guitar riffing of leader Danko Jones". ^[1] Reviewing the album for Classic Rock , Essi Berelian found there to be "not a single ounce of fat, not a riff out of place, no guitar solo longer than it needs to be, no fist-banging chorus wasted – this is a rock’n’roll surgical strike, the venom and violence delivered straight between the eyes". ^[2] Joe Daly of Metal Hammer called it "another riotous siege of bullshit-free, roof-destroying anthems about brawling, partying and bad, bad women", the first half of which "unfolds like a frenzied parking lot punch-up, each track landing one bare-knuckled haymaker after another". ^[3]
