Critical reception[]
Trouser Press called it an "enthusiastic if offhand outing," while acknowledging Simins's "typically muscular contribution."[7] Stephen Howell, in his AllMusic review, wrote: "Crunt proves that three chords and a childish mentality can be taken a long way. This is simplistic rock & roll that manages to create a fast and memorable hook for anyone within earshot."[8] The Guardian thought that "the resolutely low-fi recording quality mashes the sound into a muddy sub-heavy metal broth that pleads for the description 'bloody racket', but this has its own bizarre charm."[9]
