The album received very positive reviews, but modest sales, selling up to 10,000 copies worldwide.

It simply defies belief that they could learn to rock so hard in such a brief amount of time".

[4] UNCUT called it "a raw, often very rude post-hardcore racket, driven by an intelligence that embraces Fugazi, ...Trail Of Dead and Queens Of The Stone Age".

[6] The Observer commented that the "archly entertaining Glaswegians subvert the Scottish stereotype of dour indie mopers with hot, filthy guitars and unhinged vocals".
