Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote that "Biafra contributes a voice, label and sense of humor. That gets matched up to pounding, semi-industrialized rock by Ministry guitarist Al Jourgensen, bassist Paul Barker and drummer Jeff Ward. A casual and exciting bit of supergrouping, The Power of Lard (a three-song 12-inch) demonstrates the fun potential in this seemingly unlikely alliance."[6] Jerry Smith, reviewer of British music newspaper Music Week, was disappointed by this result of collaboration of different musicians. He wrote "Sadly, it is all rather predictable".[7]
