The album received generally negative or mixed reviews by music critics. Casey Boland of Alternative Press gave the album a half-star-out-of-five and stated: "The more we listen to Acid Tiger, the more it appears these songs were conceived with tongue firmly in cheek (and bong tightly in hand). Acid Tiger might have been a blast to record, but at times, it's a bust to listen to. It's a shame, since Acid Tiger demonstrate the potential to update and elevate a rock genre mostly ruined by scads of hairspray-loving bands throughout the '80s." [7] Brian "inagreendase" of Punknews.org gave the album two-out-of-five stars and stated: "Even with 11 minutes and two tracks of incessant noodling and phasing to go on Acid Tiger's self-titled debut, its listener will have been thoroughly exhausted. Or rocked. But probably just tired and annoyed. There's a great deal of promise Acid Tiger's members bear, but this is just not the fruition of it. Except for maybe Ballou--shit sounds good, at least." [9] Keith Carman of Exclaim! gave the album a mixed review and stated that ultimately, "Acid Tiger have the capability of piquing interest, but sustaining it might be a bit more difficult with the "Jack of all trades, master of none" approach they currently adhere to." [8] However, Kevin Stewart-Panko of Rock Sound gave the album a positive eight-out-of-ten and stated: "It would be a shame to dismiss Acid Tiger based on where they lay their heads because they have a healthy pedigree (including Converge's Ben Koller on drums) and infuse their raunchy punk with the white-knuckled rhythms of Grand Funk Railroad and a blazing up-tempo psychedelic sizzle. You can dance, drink, fight and fuck to it, plus it'll put hair on your chest. What more do you need?" [10]
