Exclaim! gave a strongly positive review of the album, describing it as "upbeat blast of cutting aggression, riding the fine line between onslaught and overbearing".[2] AllMusic noted the lack of originality in the band's songs. However, the performance quality and energy were both complimented as exemplars of thrash metal.[1]
