Robin Smith of Record Mirror panned the album in a 1/5 star review, calling it "the biggest load of hackneyed bollocks I've heard for a good six months."[2] Michael B. Smith gave the album 3/5 stars in a retrospective review for AllMusic, writing that the band "pay due homage to Ronnie Van Zandt [sic] with the songs 'Tashauna' and 'Pine Box', and rock with the best of 'em on 'Gotta Get It Straight' and "Gonna Miss It When It's Gone'."[1]
