Critical reception
Template:Music ratings The Calgary Herald opined that "Kristin Hersh's angry and powerful lyrics are silenced by sterile and emotionless music."[10] The Orlando Sentinel noted that "the slow, creepy 'Carnival Wig' is an eerie cross between John Lurie's soundtrack work and Nick Cave-style blues."[11] The Indianapolis Star wrote: "Despair, loneliness and anger seep through these songs, but catching a precise meaning in Hersh's opaque lyrics is like trying to snatch up a tadpole in a muddy creek."[12]
NME named it the 38th best album of 1992.[13]
