Critical reception

Punknews.org wrote that "each song is only a few chords with doubled guitar powerchords with occasional Skynard-esque riffs and solos fronted by Blaine Cartwright of Nashville Pussy fame." Ox-Fanzine wrote that "the album is great, better than any goddamn Nashville Pussy LP, and ties in seamlessly with a classic like Hayseed Timebomb."^[3]
