AllMusic called it "an off-kilter triumph",^[1] with the album also receiving favorable reviews from The Big Takeover^[3] and Louder Than War.^[4] Conversely, Trouser Press called it "highly ordinary" and "a sub-Devo mesh of hiccupping vocals, angular tunes with tiresome stop-start rhythms and a high, weedy guitar/organ sound".^[5]
