Critical reception

Critics noted a similarity to The Clash, particularly their version of "I Fought the Law". Ian Roullier of musicOMH compared the band's "reggae meets rock music" style to that of Madness and called the song "light-hearted in tone, upbeat in style and no doubt a lot of fun to dance to, but it won't re-write the history of rock and roll".
