Reception
In a review for AllMusic, critic Sean Westergaard criticised the performances of each musician, as well as the songwriting and production quality, summarizing the album as "little more than warmed-up post-Hendrix hard rock, heavy on the wah pedal."
Nevertheless, as of 2024, copies have sold on Discogs.com for as high as $100.
