AllMusic     [5]

Trouser Press determined that "the guitar pops up as more than just a guidepost, and the contrast makes the moments of otherworldly radio static, menacing vocoder distortions and sci-fi freakouts all the more effective."[6]

AllMusic wrote: "This is still not anywhere near mainstream hard rock—there's plenty of bizarre lyrics and spacy sound effects, even on the hard rock songs—but it does display that Helios Creed has the ability to create more than unstructured sonic explorations."[5]
