Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote that "the brief, well-played songs on Back From Samoa have cool titles ... but the lyrics are rarely as clever."[8] Alternative Press called the album "hilarious," writing that it "rocks like a spastic colon."[9] The Spin Alternative Record Guide wrote that "the extremism of this viciously witty, explosive thrash is compelling, perhaps because it's rooted in self-hatred."[4]
