The album reached number on 3 the Oricon Albums Chart, was certified Gold by the RIAJ for sales over 100,000, and received generally positive reviews.[3][4] Time magazine praised the album's "chugging three-chord rock", and said "all the hallmarks of classic Japanese rock are here, but amped up and hardened for a more streetwise generation."[5]
