Critical reception

The Encyclopedia of Popular Music wrote that More Beer "repeated the debut album's formula, with occasional stylistic variation but little else to recommend it." Trouser Press wrote that the album "belch[es] forth a hops-drenched worldview that could only offend the most humorless knee-jerk liberal — plenty of whom had infiltrated the hardcore movement by the time of the album’s release."{{cite web |title=Fear |url=https://trouserpress.com/reviews/fear/ |website=Trouser Press |accessdate=2 August 2020}}
