In an interview with Q magazine, Beck named the "Supernaut" riff as his all-time favourite, along with Neil Young's "Cinnamon Girl".
"[3] Ned Raggett of AllMusic praised the cover, writing that "the title track is something else again, one of Al Jourgensen's best efforts at creating completely over-the-top industrial death disco.

"[9] The version with Reznor's vocals was eventually released on the compilation album Black Box – Wax Trax!
