AllMusic	[3]

Eduardo Rivadavia of AllMusic awarded Unlistenable Hymns of Indulgent Damage three out of five stars, praising the guitar work but criticizing the songwriting as lackluster. He called it "one of the most unique-sounding and grammatically challenged stoner rock albums issued in 1999, even by the underground genre's already unconventional standards."^[3] Impact Press also criticized the vocal performances but generally agreed on the music being enjoyable.^[4]
