In his review for The Quietus, John Robb gave a surprisingly sparse analysis of "I Have to Look Up Just to See Hell", although he did declare it "Another maggot-infested ride into the trough of melancholy."[1]
In his review for Allmusic, Phil Freeman, who was unsatisfied by the album, noted that the title "I Want to Kill You Like They Do in the Movies" reads "like Manson-by-numbers."[2]
