Critical reception

[edit]

Trouser Press wrote: "A speedy collection of full-bore punkish rock, it wouldn’t have much character if not for Grisham's melodramatic vocals."[6] The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said that many of the songs examine "the messy consequences of personal need, romantic and otherwise, instead of raging blindly at society."[7]
