Critical reception
The Washington Post wrote: "Like New Order ... the group adopts the big-beat conventions of American dance music only to drain them of soulfulness." The Chicago Tribune stated that "the members of Wolfgang have perfected their own smart mix of the edgy energy and irreverent wit of alternative music and the rhythmic richness of funk and reggae." Trouser Press determined that "the band's thickly laid atmosphere envelops all sorts of effective ingredients: female backing vocals on 'King of Soul', wah-wah guitar on 'Kansas', dub reggae effects on 'Hang on Me (For Papa)'."
