AllMusic staff writer John Dougan gave the album four and a half out of five stars, calling it a "terrific, noisy, clamorous record stuffed to the gills with pure punk rock excitement." [2]

Spin wrote: "Comfy with its funk now, the rhythm unit bangs down walls, as intelligent guitar noise blankets the mess, segueing smoothly between melody and tuneless abrasion." [6]
