Critical reception[]

The Houston Press called the album a "teeth-jarring, brain-teasing mathematically precise [demonstration] of abrasive virtuosity."[4] Orlando Weekly called it a "math-rock masterpiece."[5] The Chicago Tribune wrote that the album "tastefully mixes catchy hooks, gnarled noise and old-fashioned sonic whomp into a King Creamson-ish blast."[6]
