Critical reception[]
Trouser Press wrote that "there’s evidence of some technical progression: 'Star of Baghdad' is shot through with aggro-surf guitar soloing, and a cover of 'Vietnamese Baby' struts with the glammy cheekiness of the New York Dolls’ original."[6] Ox-Fanzine called the album "the climax in terms of melody, aggression and pressure," writing: "Anger and bitterness instead of brutality. Thematically there is a great harbor tour through human misery: suicide, child and drug abuse, broken relationships, war. Here one looks deep into the abyss and somehow endures it."[7]
