Reviews of Boxriff were generally positive, with the track music stated as "stoner rock with gargantuan riffs and trippy sonics" as well as appreciation for the live set music. Note was also made that the "boogie metal" of the album was the most accessible for TAB's music, opening it to a larger audience.
