Critical reception
The Los Angeles Times wrote that "the problem with War Birth isn't the materiel—vintage punk's sonic arsenal remains potent—but the material, which numbingly recycles petrified punk rock slogans and attitudes."[6] The Orange County Register thought that "the riffs are chunky and plentiful, the lyrics plainspoken and fiery and the mission amiable, if of a piece ... U.S. Bombs' sound wears thin in spots, but you've got to admire a guy who opens his album by declaring 'if there's nothing shakin' by this July, I'm gonna shoot myself up with a speed ball and die.'"[3]
