Allmusic reviewer David Jeffries praised the album, writing "This is a serious step up from their previous album, the inconsistent Independent's Day, and an obvious favorite for those who like their Psychopathic releases to be less street, more theatrical."[10] horroryearbook reviewer Brain Hammer described it as Twiztid's best album, writing "It stands out to me as the most original record they have done, and it has the most horror influence too. Horror fans who have never checked out Twiztid in the past should give this record a spin."[11]
