Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote that " Valentin’s vocals have never been more pronounced, the rhythms never more insistent, the tunes never punchier or more melodic." The Washington Post wrote that "the band's lack of a distinctive style does undermine the effectiveness of such catchy tracks as 'He's My Star' and 'New Boyfriend'." CMJ New Music Monthly thought that "the raw power of the band's early material has become superseded by technical noodling."
