Critical reception

Exclaim! wrote: "Zeke strike back yet again with their super-aggressive Motörhead/Dwarves-influenced spazz punk, and this time there's an even sharper focus on the metallic 'thunder stick' work." The Stranger called the album "a steely masterpiece."{{Cite web|url=https://www.thestranger.com/music/2017/08/16/25353812/after-hibernating-for-13-years-zeke-are-ready-to-unleash-hellbender|title=After Hibernating for 13 Years, Zeke Are Ready to Unleash Hellbender|website=The Stranger}}
