Exclaim!'s Thomas Quinlan found the album to be "a great follow-up to Vaudeville Villain", while noting that due to its short length and the presence of numerous guest performers, it nonetheless "leaves you wishing for a lot more Doom".[12]

Critic Robert Christgau ranked the album at number 71 on his year-end "Dean's List".[13]
