Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote that "[Rick] Valentin’s vocals have never been more pronounced, the rhythms never more insistent (or rigid), the tunes never punchier or more melodic."[6] The Washington Post wrote that "the band's lack of a distinctive style does undermine the effectiveness of such catchy tracks as 'He's My Star' and 'New Boyfriend'."[7] CMJ New Music Monthly thought that "the raw power of the band's early material has become superseded by technical noodling."[8]
