Critical reception
MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide praised the album's "stripped down" sound and "new, menacing darkness." The Chicago Reader wrote that "Mark Zablocki and front man John Mohr lock their lean, meaty guitars together into unfussy dual riffs, simultaneously neat and jagged, that add an extra jolt of momentum to the precise, bulldozer-simple pounding of drummer Mike Greenlees." Trouser Press called the album Tar's "best and most varied," writing that "the emotional centerpiece is the tumultuous 'Building Taj Mahal', which ruminates on a band’s last stand: 'I am familiar with the concept of filler,' sings Mohr, but adds, 'This one is special.'"
