Critical reception

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch stated: "Mad Professor makes a fun farrago of Perry's vocals by compressing them, varying their speed, and echoing them in cascades toward the horizon as the drums and bass maintain militancy."^[4]

AllMusic wrote that "as insane as Perry normally sounds, being awash in the psychedelic soundwaves of dub suits his raving-madman vocal style even more perfectly."
