Australian rock music historian Ian McFarlane said "[it] matched the band's fearless experimentation with a dark, unhinged sound that went from moments of eerie near-silence to full-tilt guitar noise"[3]
The album was described by Mushroom Music as "A dark, brooding and heavy as all hell slab of sludge/slacker rock."[4]
