PopMatters wrote that "Heavy Psych feels both weighted by history and infinitely lighter and spryer than the turgid slop that all too often passes for hard rock these days." [8]

The Village Voice called it "basically their familiar, green-fingered grooves filtered through a little Hawkwind cosmic glop." [3]

The Chicago Reader wrote: "The inspiration they obviously don't care to waste on their album titles gets channeled instead into period-perfect early-70s lazy-pothead comfy-chair boogie and ecstatic explosions of flanged-out guitar designed to turn your skull inside out through your headphones." [11]
