Trouser Press felt that extensive touring had given the band "muscle and maturity" and noted the overall live feeling of the album.[7] The AllMusic critic Jason Ankeny criticized the album for lacking focus because of excessive experimentation. Despite this he gave it four and a half out of five stars, calling the high points of Hot Chocolate Massage "sublime" and "daring and eclectic."[5]Option wrote that "there's a wonderful sense of energy and daring to this LP that, more than a lot of current bands, brings the spirit of '60s experimental groups like the Insect Trust and the Ultimate Spinach to mind."[8]
