Punknews reviewer Conduit praised the album, giving it 5 stars. The reviewer stated that the cover of "Zero" was "the weakest track on the CD" and "The Kids Aren't Alright" as being the least interesting one, while picking "Mad World" as the album's best song. Conduit said "Brave Reality" (the album's only original song) "is a step above their earlier material, mixing the hardcore parts with the melody a lot better then in the past". The reviewer concluded his review by calling the hidden track "fucking hilarious."
