Critical reception
Reviewing the album's re-release for Louder Than War, Phil Newall wrote that "all the expected Hi-NRG characteristics are present, frantic syncopated beats, massed male backing vocals insistent keyboard melodies", concluding that "what lifts Divine from the ranks of Hi-NRG masses are the growled vocals and the knowledge that Divine actually lived a counter culture life style as opposed to just singing about it."[2]
