Dave Simpson of The Guardian wrote " Running the gamut from Gang of Four-style jerky, punky funk to grunge to Pere Ubu/Van Der Graaf Generator's controlled chaos, each song is packed with hooks, tunes and a sense of untamed glee. Riffs collide into each other; choruses invite you to sing along; some lyrics ("This is hi-fi!" "Forget what you know!") are shouted out over the melodic cacophony to double the effect. "No time! To reflect!" in particular could be a manifesto. They are certainly a band making the most of their extra time.
