The Guardian wrote: "This is music made by high-school geeks who dream of being desperadoes. The result was a brilliant, misguided wreck, halfway to Tulsa when the wheels fell off." Trouser Press wrote that "at the LP’s relative weirdest, Chris Cacavas’ organ- playing sounds like several genres from the ’60s, but only mildly." The Washington Post thought that Green on Red "has fashioned a ragged, primitive musical attack to complement nerve-wracking original songs."
