Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "[Peter] Gutteridge and Dominic Stones' guitar work balanced between minimal obsessiveness and brawling, massive soloing, the latter kept as part of the mix instead of the standout element ('Eyes That Shine' is a perfect example of this, with its snarl/buzzsaw opening notes and almost liquid melodies flowing through the noise)."[2] The Guardian called the album "harsh and hard and droning and unrelenting."[6]
