Reception

In her July 1999 review, Cheryl Botchick CMJ New Music Report compared the album to artists such as Faith No More, Mr. Bungle and Incubus. She stated that it is "quirky and irreverent enough to hold the interest of fans of hybridized funk/metal bands like Faith No More", adding that "vocalist Todd Smith is an even mix of the cartoonish, possessed howl of Mike Patton and the heavily processed growl of Rob Zombie."
