Exclaim! wrote that "you either get the fact that they are an all-instrumental trio playing groovy, fuzzed-out rock or you don't ... the trio breaks down into more funky terrain."[7] The Evening Times thought that "the listener is assailed by driving tracks of musical virtuosity where the guitars are to the fore."[1] The Palm Beach Post called the tracks "hypnotic" and "a heavy blend of fuzzy guitars and relentless drums."[8]
