| AllMusic |   [3] |
John Bush of AllMusic says "with its periodic stabs of metallic guitars, Numb's 1987 self-titled debut album is strongly reminiscent of two other bands who share their hometown, Front Line Assembly and Skinny Puppy." [3]
All tracks are written by Don Gordon, David Hall and Sean Stubbs, except "God Is Dead", "Eat Me" and "Two Faces" by Anthony Valcic.
