Al Shipley of
Pitchfork was largely dismissive of the record, describing the album as settling "into a series of unremarkable mid-tempo
hard rock tunes," describing the song "Hercules" in particular to be a "clear sign that something is terribly wrong."
The Morning Call wrote that "although there's enough dyspepsia to please Pepto Bismol wholesalers and Pink Floyd fans around the world, the arbitrary absurdist lyrics keep the angst from etching anything in acid." The
Riverfront Times called the songs "dense desert rock, way too polished for their own good but still containing enough texture and momentum to make it an interesting listen."
CMJ New Music Monthly deemed the album "a triumphant trip through the remnants of Kirkwood's brain."
The Record called the songs "eclectic, quirky, and tuneful." ==Track listing==
