Critical reception

The Province wrote that the band "rocks ridiculously hard." The Detroit News called the album "a 16-track slab of the yowling, ballistic, tag-team R&B." Exclaim! thought that "T. Jackson Potter’s tight, frenzied guitar playing and yelping vocals drive the album along and it’s on winners like 'Safe Cracker', 'Tom Skinner' and 'Outta My Mind' that he really lets loose." Westword deemed it "a downright wicked collection of shifty, soulful garage-blues freakouts."

Track listing

All songs written by Eric Cook and T. Jackson Potter.
