Entertainment Weekly A− [3]

AllMusic critic Mark Deming noted the Rolling Stones influence and praised the album for "starting at the dark, scary heart of Exile on Main Street and moving on into places where few bands would dare to go". [2] Entertainment Weekly gave it an A−, saying the album "has the malaise-fueled, foot-to-the-pedal pull of the Stooges or the Stones". [3]
