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: Which kind of works even if you haven't taken vengeance on *anyone* yet, if people *think* you are likely to.
gollark: As I said, if people know "hmm yes if I do bad things to this person they will have VENGEANCE" they are less likely to do those bad things.
gollark: Or I guess not even in that weird way.
gollark: > vengeance is a vicious cycle and doesn't actually help anyoneAh, but it *does*, acausally speaking in some confusing way.
gollark: if you make a credible precommitment to take revenge in advance, people might not even *cause* you to require vengeance in the first place!
