Allmusic	[2]

AllMusic awarded To Hell 'n' Back four out of five stars, saying "plenty of bands have made music like this that's full of arty calculation, but Grong Grong gave their noises a brutal, purposeful focus and feral passion that was both comic and just a bit scary."[2] Spin and Trouser Press compared the band favorably to Scratch Acid, Killdozer and The Birthday Party and was especially complimentary towards Charles Tolnay's dissonant guitar technique.[3][4][5]
