Critical reception
The Washington Post wrote that "the band has no interest in comfortable or communal moments ... Its stand-offishness, however, is frequently bracing."Jenkins, Mark (2001-01-05). "The hardcore-punk style patented two decades ago", The Washington Post, p. T14. Exclaim! called the album "a mesmerising blend of jagged, jazz-tinged, indie math rock."
