Trouser Press opined that “the spectacular ‘Hitting the Wall’ begins the album with pounding and whistling organized mayhem, which the weaker following tracks can’t equal.”
In 2005, City Pages listed “Hitting the Wall” as one of “Minnesota’s Fifty Greatest Hits”, writing: “Am-Rep’s leading lights corral their mondo-hate-scum-boogie into something like a pop song without diluting Shannon Selberg’s stay-away-from-me scream or Thor Eisentrager and Kevin Rutmanis’s guitar-bass katzenjammer.”
