AllMusic senior critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote: "Quicksand's music is about powerful anger, and the persistent, bludgeoning "Slip" delivers the goods." Gina Arnold of "Entertainment Weekly" stated: "Quicksand is derivative, but at least its operative influences — Helmet and Fugazi — are highly agreeable ones." BBC's Alex Deller described the record as a "40-minute master class in post-hardcore perfection." The album is included in "Decibel" magazine's Hall of Fame. Album credits.
