Allmusic[4]

David Gonzales of AllMusic negatively criticized the follow up to the band's previous album Natin 99 as "another bewildering mess". While he considered the album's first two opening tracks ("Ultrasound" and "Maskara") as "good alternative rock songs", he pointed out that these songs will fail to appeal to a wide range of listeners. Gonzales dismissed most of the album as "pointless and meandering".[5]
