Critical reception

CMJ New Music Report wrote that "Barr's gravelly voice complements '77-style punk riffs that fly by faster than a speeding bullet."[10] Rolling Stone thought that "the four band members pummel through their anthems like punked-out Rock 'Em Sock 'Em robots."[11]

AllMusic wrote that while the album "[took] up the expected us-against-the-world pose," its songwriting was of a higher standard than contemporary punk albums.[2]
