Critical reception

edit

Exclaim! wrote: "England's cricket-loving answer to Pennywise follow up their debut EP, Breakfast at Poppa's, with 14 heavy-hitting and oh-so melodic SoCal-inspired punk anthems."[5]

AllMusic called the album "a searing swarm of hardcore guitars and drums" and "explosive metal-tinged punk."[1]
