AllMusic

AllMusic gave the album an above average review, writing:

"The eyeball-dominated graphics seem like an homage to the Residents and the music similarly aims for an experimental collision between that legendary far-out band's non-commercial approach and a Frank Zappa-styled jazz-rock blend."

— Hal Horowitz of AllMusic
