Reception
In his review for The Clay People, Greg Prato of AllMusic praised the group embracing a more organic sound that would appeal to heavy metal enthusiasts. Aiding & Abetting gave the album a positive review, saying "Clay People has infused the metal guts with something very alive." Sonic Boom lambasted Neil Kernon's production as being responsible for "turning an excellent Coldwave act into nothing more than a glorified Metal band" but praised Daniel Neet's vocal contributions.
