Critical reception
AllMusic wrote that the album "confounds the stereotypes of ... re-formations by sounding authentic and energetic while featuring some of the best material the band has released."[1] The Los Angeles Times wrote: "Still vigorous at 35, [Casey] Royer shows that, even for an inveterate and unchanging punk, there is a livable middle way between Neil Young's dreaded rust and a premature crash-and-burn. It's not a bad example for a big brother to set for a new generation of punk rock youth."[2]
