Critical reception
Reviewing a reissue of the album, the Winnipeg Sun wrote that frontman Mark Robinson "shows he was a precursor to both Pavement and [Jon] Spencer, spitting out songs that toggle between the skewed eccentricity of the former and the garage-rawk skronk of the latter... If you're looking for the missing link between Slanted and Enchanted and Orange—and we'll presume those titles ring a bell—Unrest should be on your want list."
