In a review forAllMusic, Thom Jurek described the music as "joyous insanity," and stated that the tracks "are fun; they're wild; they're virtually unlike anything else out there."[3]

Pitchfork's Dominique Leone wrote: "much of the record takes on a tribal ambience with pitter-patter percussion and the feeling that all of this is happening amongst island natives cooped up in a studio on their one foray into the city."[4]

Deborah Sprague ofTrouser Press called the album "the most overtly playful" release of theSuper Roots series, and noted that "skittery schoolyard giggles like 'Ear? Wig? Web?' and 'Budokan Tape Try (500 Tapes High)'" set "a giddy mood."[6]

Writing forFrieze, Mark Fisher described the album as "a compendium of yelps, chants, wah-wah trumpet and acid guitar," and "an absurdist Rock miscellany, a series of fragments and offcuts."[7]

A writer forFreq stated: "The inane collides head on with the insane... This album sounds like the end product of demented nihilist dada antimusic that has collapsed into entropy."[8]
