Frontman Gary Floyd spent two years at a Hindu monastery before reforming the band, which right away attracted the attention of major record labels.

"[15] The San Francisco Chronicle thought that "Floyd brings a well-developed sense of melodics to an otherwise highly charged sound and his round, warm voice gives the lyrics a surprising resonance.

"[13] UPI concluded that it "presents the neo-psychedelic foursome of Lynn Perko, Ben Cohen, Jeff Palmer and Gary Floyd—former Buddhist monk and front for Austin, Texas, punk band the Dicks—in a dozen original cuts that slice and smear the spectrum like a palette knife.

"[16] AllMusic wrote that "the major problem is the production by Kevin Laffey; it takes the bite and power out of the guitars and pushes singer Gary Floyd too far above the mix.

"[17] The Austin Chronicle called it "a mess, thudding like late-Eighties Heart crossed with .38 Special, and absolutely no clue where in the mix to position Floyd, who seems to be singing outside in the hallway.
