AllMusic[2]

Erik Hage of AllMusic gave the album a negative one-and-a-half-star review, stating "20 Dead Flower Children's Candy, Toy Guns & Television is a rather uninspired, hard-edged foray into industrial/techno, with vocals that swing from Limp Bizkit-flavored rhyming to hardcore roaring." He also observed "This is an idiom that groups such as Linkin Park would subsequently navigate much more successfully (and parlay into financial success)."[2]
