| Chicago Sun-Times | [7] |
The Washington Post wrote: "Aside from the mid-tempo, vaguely bluesy 'Sick of My Fix', these 11 songs are little more than a blur—a chord progression, a hyperdrive beat, a bellowed refrain—but that little more is just enough to make them engaging."[10] The Chicago Tribune called the album "a hot rod to cheap thrill punk rock hell."[11]
