Critical reception

The Chicago Reader thought that the "trio’s surefooted maneuvers through intricate arrangements lead it down the path taken by guitar bands like the Minutemen, Slovenly, Slint, and Silkworm ... Dianogah’s revisitations aren’t half bad–but neither are they half as good as the originals."^[5]

AllMusic wrote that "Jason Harvey and Jay Ryan's dexterous bass work interweaves perfectly with Kip McCabe's precision drumming almost as if the three instruments were one."^[2]
