Critical reception
Trouser Press noted that singer Whitfield Crane adopted "a new and nasty W. Axl Rose vocal affliction on some songs", and wrote that the band "reintroduce themselves as a growly, serious rock lot attempting to fill the gap left by the Gunners' silence". The Washington Post called the album "more varied and tuneful than its predecessor".
