AllMusic gave the album an above average review[2], writing:
"The eyeball-dominated graphics seem like an homage to the Residents and the music similarly aims for an experimental collision between that legendary far-out band's non-commercial approach and a Frank Zappa-styled jazz-rock blend."
— Hal Horowitz of AllMusic
