Critical reception

Reviewing in Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981), Robert Christgau wrote: "The first side of the most unambitious album they've ever made works beautifully as what it is—P-Funk on thorazine, with the phrasemaking acuity of previous War records reduced to one title, 'Sweet Fighting Lady.' Side two winds down from a pretty good hit single into fourteen minutes of carrying unambitiousness way too far."[2]

gollark: As far as I can tell from graphs™, load average was weirdly high from 4am or so, when I wasn't on it or doing anything, and from 12:08 it spiked to 15, along with CPU going really high.
gollark: Oh, now top isn't loading.
gollark: But UPTIME!
