The Independent wrote: "Reflecting the original play's deliberately repugnant manner, the accompaniment is full of martial, rat-a-tat drum fusillades and pompous marches, synth whines, washes of white noise and colossal bouts of belching, perfectly embodying the childish antagonism of Jarry's irrepressible urge to 'epater la bourgeoisie.'" [10]
Record Collector called the album "a hall-of-mirrors audio play with a linear narrative, scronking, squalling rhythms and melodic snippets undulating round a pulsating soundscape." [8]
