Reception

Reviewing the title track, Billboard wrote that the single's "assaulting, deviant style" shows why Prong is popular.[5] Jenni Glenn of CMJ New Music Monthly wrote that the album is heavier and angrier than Cleansing, blending thrash metal and industrial music to maintain their status of metal favorites.[6]
