The Washington Post wrote that, "paced by Hope Nicholls' assertive yelping, the quintet's Galaxy 500 claims shards of funk and metal."[7] The Ottawa Citizen called Hope Nicholls's voice "flat, shrill and grating, an outcome made worse by the abundance of hard-edged material."[8] The Orlando Sentinel opined that the album "shows the Bones are as wildly imaginative as R.E.M., the B-52's or any of the New South rock bands that have preceded them to prominence."[9]The Charlotte Observer considered the "funky punk-rap" "Stray" to be the album's best track.[10]
