Critical reception

Dave Thompson, in Alternative Rock, called the album's sound "unique" and wrote that it lives "noisily in the cracks between pop-punk and hardcore."[4] The Staten Island Advance determined that "the band's no-holds-barred approach incorporates some the best elements of revved-up rockabilly, '60s-styled garage-rock, surf and hot-rod sounds, '70s-styled riff-heavy, punk slop, in the vein of early Stones, Stooges, N.Y. Dolls, Damned, Mekons, with a shots of Memphis soul grooves and hot hillbilly twang thrown in."[5]
