The River Cities' Reader called it "A stunning document of the talent ... [of] singer Mia Zapata ... She sings with such conviction, ferocity, and expressiveness that the lyrics become irrelevant. The band becomes irrelevant."[6] William Athey of The Forum was positive, writing that the band "demonstrate too much dexterity with their instruments to fall into a stereotypical thrash classification," and of Zapata's vocals notes, "when things slow down she gets an engaging quaver in her voice."[7] It was selected by Russ Rankin as a top 10 favorite album.[8]
