The New York Times wrote that "there are all sorts of tricky sound effects and noise elements, provided by the inventive synthesizer player David Frank, but these effects never get in the way of the songs, which range from solid to memorable."^[1] The Philadelphia Daily News deemed the album "industrial strength but of prefabricated quality."^[5]
