Reception
Dean McFarlane of AllMusic wrote the album "fall[s] a little flat amidst the confusion and veer[s] closer to the new wave sound than most punks would dare to venture." Trouser Press called the album "a different proposition altogether", calling it a "snappy romp through an assortment of styles (ska, pop-punk, even electro-dance)".
