Critical reception to the EP was positive, with Kevin Hoskins of Allmusic praising “Queen of Pain” and "'God Deciding'" as representative of each band's best material to date, specifically praising George Rebelo’s drumming.[3]

Jason Thompson of PopMatters, praised the tracks by Alkaline Trio over Hot Water Music’s, preferring Matt Skiba’s singing voice to Chuck Ragan’s, and remarking of the latter that; “All too often the vocals are of that saliva drenched, back of the throat variety, which takes out a lot of the punch of this group, whose musical abilities are as tight as the Alkaline Trio’s.”[4]
