Reception
The publication Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles emphasized that lead vocalist Big Dad Ritch and his band wholeheartedly integrate their affinity for country and Southern rock styles with a strong dedication to Western motifs, which is particularly prominent in the lead single and title track, "Gunsmoke." This song combines an earthy acoustic guitar with a pulsating rhythm and gritty distortion effects.
Larry Petro from KNAC commended the track "Bones Jones" for its energetic groove metal riffs and narrative drawn from the life of an actual entrepreneur. Additionally, he remarked that the opening songs "Deadman" and "Baptized In The Mud" function as personal anthems that effectively reflect THC’s signature red dirt metal sound.
