Glenn Kenny of the Trouser Press felt that Death of Samantha showed promise despite sounding too similar to other alternative groups of the era.[3] On the other hand, Piero Scaruffi felt it was a masterpiece, calling it "an unlikely combination of Pere Ubu, Television and R.E.M."[2] Recognizing it as the band's finest release, Scaruffi listed Strungout on Jargon as the third best rock album issued in 1986.[4]
