[6][7] Hot Water Music's Jason Black stated of the recording: "[on the last album] we just didn't know what the hell we were doing.

[17] Allmusic stated the album "isn't as strong as the records that preceded it, but, at the end of the day, anything this band has to offer is still a lot more honest and explosive than what most of their peers have.

[9] PopMatters called the album "a magnificent testament to what a punk rock band could do if they kept both ears on expanding their sound, but both feet planted in their roots... For one album, Hot Water Music managed to pull off the rare feat of maintaining the energy and politics of punk while embracing a thoroughly rock and roll sound.

[14] In 2019, the band played the album in full on tour, based on a Twitter poll conducted amongst fans.

[19] Also in 2019, brewing company Arizona Wilderness created an IPA named after the album in collaboration with the band.
