The Washington Post opined that the "eclecticism does provide for more variegation than is common on hardcore punk albums, but the band is still most convincing on such high-speed, relatively unadorned rockers as Freaktown' and the title song."[7] The Chicago Tribune noted that "a hearty horn section punctuates and adds a wallop to the guitar assault."[6] The Deseret News noted the "muscular riff-rock approach."[8]
