AllMusic     [5]

The Chicago Tribune noted that, "unlike some of its upper-left-coast peers, Love Battery takes a more textured, psychedelic approach to modern rock."[6] USA Today determined that the band "adds discernible melody, trance-inducing rhythms, guitar tremolo and trippy effects, plus lyrics shaded by a very distant influence, Georgia-based R.E.M."[7]

The Seattle Times deemed the music "a dense, psychedelic-tinged sound that has more in common with the English 'dream pop' movement of My Bloody Valentine and Ride than the Seattle grunge sound of Mudhoney and Tad."[8] The Columbus Dispatch called the album "the right mix of '60s garage psychedelia and Neil Young-style music-as-primal-scream-therapy."[9]
