PopMatters[1]

PopMatters gave the album a lukewarm review, calling it a "fairly unspectacular" effort that was "not recorded with the strongest material, or when the Drones are at their best", even calling it a "step back" from their "unhinged and visceral studio sound", despite being a "noble attempt".[1]
