[1] In a review for Allmusic, John Dougan wrote: "Using the studio to their advantage, Last Exit explores sonic texture on 'Prayer' and 'The Fire Drum,' but never loses sight of the power and energy that makes their live recordings so memorable.

"[2] Writing for Trouser Press, Greg Kot stated: "Last Exit’s sole studio recording... introduces a less frantic direction, with more value placed on the space between notes.

"[7] In a review for Elsewhere, Graham Reid wrote: "Iron Path was damaging, incendiary noise, and you would not want to subject you sensitive ears to the assault that is 'Devil's Rain'... which sounds just right for Sonic Youth fans... Iron Path is a bawdy, bellicose, wildly swinging brawler of an album... it is what is, and wasn't polite at the time.
