The Chicago Tribune deemed the album "a 14-track dread- and chaos-permeated industrial slugfest, built around singer Bliss Blood's drained, spoken-word ramblings and Scott Ayers' guitar hash and mechanistic studio manipulations." The Dallas Morning News praised the "inventive guitar and samples [and] Ms. Blood's sassy singing."

Jason Anderson of AllMusic called the album "a fine first purchase for new fans, as it is nothing if not representative of Pain Teens' sonic assault."
