Writing for AllMusic, critic Jack Rabid said, "This is Teen Idles as a punk band, at merely really fast tempos, before they opted for the blinding thrash rush that led to such speeds becoming the stupid staple of hardcore...Like their then-D.C. friends the Bad Brains, only half as good, Teen Idles were actually a budding punk pleasure in their pre-hardcore days".[1]
