Critical Reception

There was a high level of critical reception for the album, with reviews varying from mixed to positive.

Quietus felt that the album was appreciable by a broad audience with its catchy refrains but was repetitive and lacked the substance of the band's prior works.[6]

Punknews was slightly positive, again raising concerns that certain songs was repetitive. However Blood and Cream was exulted as their catchiest song to date. Overall, the reviewer notes that though the album is indistinguihable from others in the genre, for those who like "loud sludgy riffs, face-melting solos and Ozzy-esque vocal hooks, Red Fang will satisfy your appetite".[5]

Exclaim! had mostly positive comments on the album, stating that though similar in nature to their prior music, the music was a major refinement on prior efforts, to form a particularly aggressive variation of stoner rock.[4]AllMusic reported positively, feeling that Red Fang had managed to operate on two levels with the release, managing "to get psychedelic without abandoning the non-stop riff-fests that made their first two albums such a welcome change of pace". In doing so, it was rated with other successful stand outs of the genre for retaining quality while adding complexity, coupled with being suitable for a wider range of audiences.[2]Pitchfork had mixed or negative analysis of the album. While the technical competence of Red Fang were appreciated, an absence of substance in the music, coupled with extreme repetitiveness, was felt to make the album difficult going and unsuitable for repeat listening.[3]
