Critical reception

Tucson Weekly wrote that "the heavy-duty scorch of Zeke is as dangerous and thrilling a spectacle as when Evel Knievel jumped his super-charged motorcycle over a dozen school buses at the Houston Astrodome back in the '70s." SF Weekly described the album as "packed with scorching 90-second odes to sex, drugs and fast cars/motorcycles."^[5]

AllMusic called it "a relentless ride of rock & roll abandon threaded through with punk rock speed and attitude ... perhaps Zeke's finest album."
