Tim Peacock of Record Collector gave the album four stars out of five, while noting that "Much of the truly gobsmacking gear, though, hails from 1975-76", specifically noting The Count Bishops and The 101ers while finding that music by Cabaret Voltaire Death "both serve notice that some of the more enlightened clatter soon to be labelled “punk” wouldn't necessarily be fashioned from just three hastily cribbed chords." [6] Fred Thomas of AllMusic noted similar statements of the later tracks being the more interesting, noting that "the true roots of punk's experimental, feral, and deeply outsider perspectives are best explored on tracks recorded a few years later", specifically mentioning tracks by Death, electric eels, and Cabaret Voltaire. [1] The review concluded that the album"does an amazing job corralling some of the various wild sounds from that nebulous time, anchoring the untameable numerous directions of its playlist with a finely considered flow and top-notch curation." [1]

Rolling Stone included the album in their list of the best 2014 reissues. Christopher R. Weingarten of Rolling Stone compared it to the documentary film A Band Called Death , finding that bands could "accidentally invent punk rock, even if you were 600 miles away from CBGB's." finding the compilation loaded with "blown-out, abrasive stuff that predates punk's attitude, if not sound" [3]
