Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote: "SY drummer Steve Shelley produced and released the album on his own label, and his group's guitar sound and song structures clearly inform Blonde Redhead‘s eight songs, which include both warped pop nuggets ('Sciuri Sciura') and trippy guitar forays ('I Don’t Want U')."^[2]
