Critical reception

The album received very positive reviews, but modest sales, selling up to 10,000 copies worldwide. It was named 'Album of the Week' by the '' Daily Record'', who said that the album "has a raw appeal and invites the listener into their inner sanctum and then ravishes them with raucous ferocity". Tim O'Neil of PopMatters said of the album: "This album rocks hard, of that there is no doubt. The Sluts are as exciting and fierce a group as I've heard in quite some time". He went on to state "I almost don't believe that the Sluts are merely two guys who've only been playing together for a year. It simply defies belief that they could learn to rock so hard in such a brief amount of time". ''

Amber Cowan of '' The Times'' described the album as "adventurous, agitated erocktica, informed by the angular clang of post-punk", giving the album three starts out of five.
