Critical reception

Charles Deppner of Ink19 described the album as "some real repugnant punk rock...some of their best burnt offerings skewered on the shish kebobs of hell". Adam Bregman of Allmusic gave the album a 4-star rating, describing it as "their most satisfying record" and "the beginning of a new Dwarves, no longer a freak show, fistfight-type outfit with shows that last 15 minutes, but one that plays real songs, had a set list, and left the club unbloodied".
