Critical reception

In a retrospective review for AllMusic, critic Ned Raggett gave the album three and a half out of five stars and wrote that "Possessed of a good mid-range punk voice -- no sneering or bellowing, not really singing but not just talking over the songs either -- he creates the same basic rush he brought to his early stints in the Adolescents and the faster Christian Death songs he [had] worked on, but with a slightly poppier bent at points that perfectly balances sass and strength, while not being afraid to experiment from time to time either".

gollark: Arguably low headroom is good, as it means that regular people get as much out of the CPU as possible out of the box.

gollark: I would mine things, but the fans would be loud and I don't want to contribute to a deranged zero sum (negative sum really) mess.

gollark: If I remember right they now use proof of work based on executing randomly generated programs.

gollark: You can run any quantum computing stuff on a regular computer. It just might be unusably slow.
