The Indianapolis Star wrote that "the band's hybrid sound recalls both Big Audio Dynamite (even Nic [Offer]'s vocals are reminiscent of Clash veteran Mick Jones) and the experimental spirit of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion."[2]
Johnny Loftus of AllMusic stated: "On this [album], !!! trash the axiom that says bands influenced by angular post-punk must be populated by dour misanthropes who sport wallet photos of Ian Curtis. Highly recommended."[1]
