Upon the release, pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "Watch out, Los Hermanos are aiming their verbal machine guns at your heads again. Still not insane from these "gangstas" on spliff?"[1]James Hamilton from the Record Mirror Dance Update described it as a "rasping gruff unison rap chanter" in his weekly dance column.[2] Gareth Grundy from Select wrote that it "wouldn't offend anyone, though, DJ Muggs' beats might be the most distinctive and imaginative in the field, but like most of the band's Black Sunday album, this is a fairly whitey-friendly version of gangsta rap."[3] Another Select editor, Adam Higginbotham, noted that "fat, acoustic sounds predominate" on tracks like 'Lick a Shot'.[4]
