Monster proved to be the band's most successful release, peaking at #175 on the Billboard charts and producing the popular single "Love Crushing". Tommy Steele was nominated the Grammy Award for Best Recording Package for his artwork on the album. Tom Demalon of allmusic gave it 3 out of 5 stars, praising the emotion depth of the lyrics and noting that "the quintet doesn't let up often, serving up a punk-tinged, power pop musical backdrop for the strafing vocals of Hope Nicholls."[1]
