Reception was generally positive of the combined album. CMJ approved of the combination of Nebula's dynamic tracks that shifted from quiet intros to earth-shaking guitar solos along with Lowrider's simpler groove tracks with their Black Sabbath influences. [2] AllMusic also appreciated the combination, stating that between the two there were "few stylistic surprises, but [...] superb "yields" of crushing power chords and psychedelic, head-nodding grooves."
