Trouser Press wrote that "I.T.S. Credo" "reaffirms the band-held view of rock as hard manual labor." The Seattle Times noted the "sing-along choruses where everyone shouts and guitar solos that rubber-band in and out of basic 4/4 time structures."

AllMusic called the album "crazy, entertaining, classic, punky raunch and roll moving at 200 mph."
