The album was included in the Numero Group's 2014 boxset 1992–1998 and was also released separately on LP format.
Critical reception
CMJ New Music Monthly wrote that the album "reveals the band's mastery of its technique: Matt and Bubba Kadane's whispered, spoken or half-sung vocals trickle through the plodding, strangely dynamic songs, which are bolstered by the band's three-guitar approach, though not in a predictable strength-in-numbers fashion."
