Critical reception
Andy Kellman of AllMusic gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, commenting that "the record epitomizes the spirit of the exciting late-'70s/early-'80s crossbreeding that took place between punk and reggae." Ira Robbins of Trouser Press called the album "intriguing, if not entirely successful". David Katz of Fact wrote, "the New Age Steppers' eponymous debut is a messy, self-indulgent set that points in several directions at once, ultimately forming a sonic marker of an era when the link between punk and dub was anything but tenuous."
