Jason Ankeny of allmusic gave it 2 out of 5 stars, expressing his dislike for Scott Ayers' compositional style and calling Bliss Blood's contributions "negligible at best".[2]

The album cover features an image appropriated from the first edition of William S. Burroughs's novel Junkie, published by Ace Books.
