Critical reception
The Austin Chronicle wrote that "the band's jaded alt-rock stomp still has an earthy appeal, as evidenced by slammers 'So Long Lovely Eyes' and 'Flower'."[6] AllMusic wrote that the songs "successfully revisit the band’s mid-1990s post-grunge heyday, particularly on the urgent, Soundgarden-like opener, 'So Long Lovey Eyes'; the stinging title track; and the sinister stomper 'Hell in High Water'."[7] Trouser Press thought that "Lewis/Vaden’s vocals are still strong, having changed very little since 1994."[3]
