Creative Loafing's James Kelly gave the album 4 out of 5 stars and called it "a very fitting and long-overdue tribute."[7] Robert Christgau gave it an A− and wrote that on the album, Morlix and his drummer "sink into a slough of despond that starts feeling right comfy before the record rises up with 'Small Town Hero,' in which the duct tape abuser gets the last word on the high school sports star."[5]
