Critical reception

Uncut wrote that "for all their complexities, Pilot To Gunner repeat their explosive shifts too often."[5] AllMusic wrote that the album "ultimately isn't a surprising reinvention of the wheel and gets a touch samey towards the end, but it still makes a fine first album from a band that shows some distinct promise."[3] CMJ New Music Monthly called it "a riveting and raucous jaunt that begs repeatedly listening."[7]
