Critical reception

AllMusic called the album "a fine one, with more than enough high-water marks to counter the lows, and more than enough sheer 'rawk' gumption to stand out from the cookie-cutter radio rockers out there." [2] PopMatters called the album "a confident step forward," writing that it is "the perfect music for a summer afternoon with a tubful of beer on ice." [6] Exclaim! derided the "vocals that sound like a furious and bowel-obstructed Scott Stapp, tired mid-tempo Southern rock blues-riffing punctuated by occasional hints of thrash, and enough debased artificial harmonic guitar solo wankery to make Dimebag Darrell roll over in his grave." [7]
