The San Diego Union-Tribune stated that Asphalt Ballet "roars through the heavy-metal catalog with maximum speed and skill, minimum fuss and a welcome lack of pretense."[8]
AllMusic wrote that the band "made a play at musical relevance via aggro alt-rock, rather than the bluesy hard rock the group displayed a minor flair for on their 1991 debut."[6]
