Trouser Press wrote that "I.T.S. Credo" "reaffirms the band-held view of rock as hard manual labor."{{Cite web|url=http://www.trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=gas_huffer|title=TrouserPress.com :: Gas Huffer|website=www.trouserpress.com}} The Seattle Times noted the "sing-along choruses where everyone shouts and guitar solos that rubber-band in and out of basic 4/4 time structures."{{cite news |last1=West |first1=Phil |title=GAS HUFFER IS A BAND TO GET STUPID TO |work=The Seattle Times |date=December 10, 1993 |page=G42}}
