Critical reception
Anthony Easton of Exclaim! gave the album a mixed review and a 6-out-of-10 rating, labelling inconsistency as the album's downfall. "An album needs a frame, and a ruthless culling instinct," he writes. "Freakshow has neither. I keep wanting more from Brody, and he doesn't quite deliver."
