"Trouser Press" wrote that "the ultra-live sound of the speedballs  renders some of them generic, although [Dexter] Romweber continues to excel on the slower cuts, offering an atmospheric reading of the instrumental classic 'Harlem Nocturne'." "Spin" called Romweber "the Crispin Glover of rock'n'roll singers," writing that he emotes "with a creepy edge that Jerry Lee Lewis himself would be hard-pressed to match." The "Orlando Sentinel" thought that "for a rock 'n' roll animal, Romweber has an amazingly pretty voice." "The Washington Post" opined that "wild-eyed, gravel-voiced singer/songwriter/guitarist Dexter Romweber remains an original, his genius and his preposterousness inextricably linked." AllMusic wrote that the band's  deliciously dirty and rough brand of rockabilly is unrivaled, and this disc is perhaps their finest.
