Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "these releases were throttling and brash, shamelessly self-explanatory, and fond of intense speed shifts as they tottered over a pre-grindcore method of handling near chaos."[1] Trouser Press thought that the record contains "some mini-masterworks of alienated vitriol."[4]
