Reception

Reviewing the reissue for Pitchfork, Jesse Dorris said that while the album "lacks the hooks and holy fury of the other post-reunion albums, the jams come thick and sweet." ^[2] Writing for Joy Zine, Paul F Cook said the album came from "the actual golden period of music from the band because not only had technology caught up their ideas but now the group were throwing lots of warmth and dense textures to their music which gives it a huge slab of soul." ^[5]
