Critical reception
In writing for Pitchfork Media, Evan Minsker praised the staying power of the material, saying "This music pummels, and better still, it escapes the trap of self-seriousness that so many metal and noise bands seem to fall into. They had a sense of humor, which came through in their use of samples and in Zombie's deranged carnival barker performances." Awarding the set four out of five stars, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that "The music itself feels somewhat cemented to time, but that's also its appeal: this was a band that came from a very specific time and place, and that era is celebrated here, providing an interesting footnote in '80s underground history."
Track listing
