Brief review by Jeff Tamarkin: "Is it possible that Pere Ubu has gone near-accessible? Well, not quite."

Review by Bill Meyer of the 1999 reissue. "This album is a transitional entry in Pere Ubu's catalog."

Rated 7.2 out of 10 by Michael Sandlin. "Basically, these are your average Pere Ubu non-hit songs that ponder burning questions concerning paleontology, biochemistry, geometry, zoology, and the language and communication barriers between man and animal."
