Critical reception

Westword thought that "nothing here is as edgy or extreme as Tin Huey's previous salvos (or the average fan's memory of them), and the self-referentialism of 'The Tin Huey Story' and 'The Tin Huey Story, Part 2' implies a certain overestimation of the outfit's place in the cosmic scheme of things."[6] The Cleveland Scene called the album "a rollicking, surrealistic 15-tracker spanning [Harvey] Gold's paranoid, punchy 'Missing Persons', Robert Wyatt's 'Little Red Riding Hood Hit the Road', and 'Otis Says No', a funk workout by Gold and guitarist-vocalist Michael Aylward."[7]

AllMusic wrote that "[Ralph] Carney's unique, free jazz-influenced reeds and horns and Harvey Gold's Sun Ra-inspired piano fills dominate the sound, but as on Contents Dislodged During Shipment, the songs are filled with odd noises and slippery time-signature changes."[1]
