| Fear | [5] |
Cash Box in its favorable review noted the stylistic diversity of the album: "Saigon Kick fuses hard rock/heavy metal, '60s-inspired psychedelia and/or punk on the band's aggressive yet melodic debut album."[2] AllMusic's Eduardo Rivadavia saw this diversity as the album's weakness but thought that the songwriting made up for it: "The band tries desperately to please everyone and though they obviously fail, their 1991 eponymous debut still features very inspired songwriting and some amazing chops from guitarist Jason Bieler."[4]
