AllMusic | [3] |
Chicago Tribune | [4] |
The Chicago Tribune wrote that "John Terlesky's gravelly, abandoned vocals once again ride over searing guitar (with more than a few psychedelic/bluesy accents) and organ, bass and drums that are welded into blasts of raw rock 'n' roll sound." [4] The New York Times determined that "the music is dense, droning pop, through which J. T.'s guitar and ragged vocals cut, gag, stumble and scream." [5]
In 1998, The Philadelphia Inquirer deemed the album "fat-bottomed psychedelic metal." [6]
