Critical reception

AllMusic called the album "an enjoyable listen," writing that it "is a perfect marriage of modern production techniques, excellent riffing, melodic classic doom, and grooving ambience."[3] LA Weekly wrote that "there's a certain slickness here, but an inimitable weirdness too, the combination of which makes this band so distinctly, quintessentially Los Angeles."[7] The Encyclopedia of Popular Music wrote that the album "extended Goatsnake's move towards southern-fried doom leanings, further refining their bludgeoning style."[5]
