| AllMusic |   [3] |
Trouser Press wrote that "with a rotating stack of fellow noisemakers, Jad manages to deliver some quietly cogent (if unexceptional) performances ('The Titanic,' 'All of Me,' 'Three Rings,' 'Secret' and a few others), but a sizable chunk of the record is unlistenably indulgent nonsense, noisy improvs in the musical sandbox." [4] Magnet counted the album as among the band's "most accessible, most listenable." [5]
Kurt Cobain of Nirvana ranked it his 37th favorite album on his top 50 favorite albums list, published in Journals. [6] [7] [8]
