AllMusic     [3]

The St. Petersburg Times wrote: "Although the harsh reality of industrial dance music runs amok in 'Burn Like Brilliant Trash (At Jackie's Funeral)', 'Cicciolina', which follows, is gentle, as close to balladry as tech-heads have ever roamed."[4] The Washington Post deemed the band "a synth-based trio that occasionally approximates a hip-hop swing but often sounds like one of those British electro-dance combos of a decade ago."[5] The Oregonian opined that "the group veers from cluttered industrial noise constructs (akin to Skinny Puppy, though milder) to glossy, if eccentric, dance-rock."[6]

AllMusic wrote that "Pretty Hate Machine-style synths are scattered liberally across the album, but the most part it's surprisingly calm and restrained."[3]
