Critical reception

edit

Kerrang! gave the album a generally positive review. "Throughout the six tracks, there's richness of sound that throws a nod in the direction of Don Caballero, but they are capable of utterly kicking you arse when they want to with rushes of percussive violence and frantically mangled guitar, occasionally delving into the kind of assonance that makes your teeth hurt," reviewer Dan Slessor writes, giving it three K's out of five.[2]
