Critical reception

The Toronto Sun called the album "supremely filthy," writing that "it makes Jon Spencer sound like Pat Boone." Miami New Times deemed it "a 34-minute slugfest that highlights the band's blues chops... and showcases their ability to pulverize a riff into fine powder." The Commercial Appeal noted that "for manic deranged 'blooze' with a healthy dose of unleashed libido, the Oblivians are truth in packaging."
