Trouser Press opined that "the spectacular 'Hitting the Wall' begins the album with pounding and whistling organized mayhem, which the weaker following tracks can't equal."[6]
In 2005, City Pages listed "Hitting the Wall" as one of "Minnesota's Fifty Greatest Hits", writing: "Am-Rep's leading lights corral their mondo-hate-scum-boogie into something like a pop song without diluting Shannon Selberg's stay-away-from-me scream or Thor Eisentrager and Kevin Rutmanis's guitar-bass katzenjammer."[7]
