The Albuquerque Journal deemed Straight Freak Ticket "a good, solid, basic rock 'n' roll album."[14] The Seattle Post-Intelligencer called it "a solid, well-produced album of guitar-based rock with catchy hooks and a strong dose of psychedelia."[15] The Arizona Daily Star considered Straight Freak Ticket to be "an excellent album, boasting the spirit of out-of-control rock music focused with the precision of a big-budget recording."[16]

The Santa Fe New Mexican concluded: "If Nirvana was The Beatles of the Seattle Invasion, then Love Battery is somewhere between Gerry & The Pacemakers and Petula Clark."[17] USA Today labeled the album "a psychedelic tour de force and dramatic leap forward," writing that "the antigrunge guitar riff-o-rama of Ron Nine and Kevin Whitworth propels the Seattle quartet's most adventurous and listenable tunes to date."[13]
