In a review for AllMusic, Phil Freeman called the recording "one of the most important albums in the history of Japanese underground rock, absolutely essential."[1]

Jon Dale of Red Bull Music Academy wrote: "at this point, Fushitsusha are taking on the freedoms implicit in those world-wrecking Dylan & The Hawks shows, dizzyingly flexible in their attack yet always grounded by the ne plus ultra of rock movement." He stated: "this is a great reminder of just how potent a rock performer Haino can be, and how brightly he shines when backed by sympathetic musicians."[3]

Writing for The Quietus, Tristan Bath described the album as "a colossus of a masterpiece," and commented: "The music's some of the most accessible and musically direct Haino ever made, even harbouring some bouncy blues grooves."[4]
