Andy Kellman of Allmusic regarded the tracks "Cars Converge on Paris" as "laggard and mediocre, but benefiting from a Wobble-type bassline and some nifty drum effects," while describing another track "The Hitcher" as "just as ace as anything found on Mezcal Head, including some lovely background vocals." Kellman also wrote that "In the City", a The Who cover, "repletes with vintage Shel Talmy-style production", commenting that "the band turned it into a five-minute, raging charger."[2]
