Reception

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Stewart Mason called the album "one of the pioneering releases of the American post-punk indie scene, and proof that the Minneapolis scene of the early '80s wasn't just Replacements and Hüsker Dü-style guitar aggression... Later albums were arguably more complex, but In Combo remains probably the Suburbs' greatest vinyl moment."
