Johnny Loftus of Allmusic gave the EP three and a half stars out of five, remarking that "[Good Riddance's] tightly wound sound is well represented here; 'Judas and the Morning After Pill' and 'Grandstanding from the Cheap Seats' have an urgent punk traditionalism about them that's reminiscent of Bad Religion. For their part, Kill Your Idols prove that the rabid, ragged-edges sound of New York City's defiant hardcore scene is still going strong."[1]
