Critical reception

MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide listed Fireproof among the band's best work, writing that "Steve Mack's tart, cynical voice is the perfect vehicle for the razor-sharp lyrics."[4] Trouser Press wrote that "the droney, melody-deprived rockers can’t get by strictly on drive, and the album’s parallel attempt to advance the quintet’s Beatlesque pop aspirations is also stymied."[7] Billboard praised the "bruising guitar-driven sound that always stays within the white lines of melody."[2]
