Critical reception

Exclaim! wrote that the album "rides the fine line between melancholy and mediocrity."[1] SF Weekly wrote that Country Teasers' "smirking delivery reveals the lyrics to be an indiscriminate jest."[7] The Dallas Observer wrote that Destroy All Human Life "turns down the flailing energy for a much more subdued murk owing more to mid-fi Royal Trux-y rambling than anything else."[8]
