The Vancouver Sun wrote that "lead guitarist Greg Fields has the meanest, meatiest riffs this side of Angus Young." [5] The St. Louis Post-Dispatch concluded: "You have to hand it to Rhino Bucket. They own every AC/DC album, and they've obviously never listened to anything else." [6] The Toronto Sun called the album "full of chugging riffs, screaming vocals, half-sung/half-chanted choruses, and song titles that are little more than thinly disguised ways of saying the same thing." [7]
