Critical reception
Westword called the album "an impressive, although scattered, sampler of the band's distinctive punk/pop sound."[3] Trouser Press wrote that "while the album does boast a surfeit of energy, the band often feints when it should jab, backing off intensely memorable riffs while dragging uneventful throbs to the point of tedium."[9] Stylus Magazine called it a "muscular, Pixies-ish, less than stellar 1991 debut that rarely hinted at the brilliance to come."[10]
