[[AllMusic]]'s Pemberton Roach, who described the record as Black Flag's most "experimental", compared the spoken word material to  [[Jim Morrison]]'s works on live [[The Doors]] releases.<ref name="allmusic-review"/> [[AllAboutJazz]]'s Trevor Maclaren stated: "It opens three points of interest: Rollins as the [[Beat Generation|Beat Poet]]—sort of—the stoned dirge influence of [[Black Sabbath]], and the instrumental jazz driven [[Heavy metal music|metal]]/[[Punk rock|punk]] that Ginn would utilize after dissolving Black Flag." Maclaren also added: "The distorted guitars and atonal feedback of players like [[Sonny Sharrock]] and [[James Blood Ulmer]] reign supreme in a sludgy Black Sabbath riff."<ref name="jazz"/>
