Reviews
Jonathan Lewis of AllMusic said, "It's no coincidence that The Screaming Jets chose to self-title their third album. For The Screaming Jets, the band changed their approach somewhat, introducing more thoughtful lyrics and toning down the metal aspect of their music. The change is a good one, and this is a much more mature effort from the band. As a group they are tighter than ever and the quality of their songwriting has improved noticeably from their two previous outings. But changing a successful formula, regardless of how good a change it is, is always going to alienate fans. The Screaming Jets failed to live up to the success of its predecessor but [is] Screaming Jets' best. "[2]
