Critical reception
Trouser Press called the album "an unqualified triumph," and praised "Help Me Land" as "two minutes of slashing power chords, a frenzied vocal and Zelenko’s totally out-of-control drumming."[6] The Hartford Courant called it "40 minutes of high-energy, minimal-angst-factor fun."[5] The Chicago Tribune called Freak City Soundtrack "a return to form ... It comes as close as any disc to capturing the band's live energy."[7]
