Ranked #16 in New Musical Express' list of `The Top 50 LPs Of 1993' - "...a bloody but nonetheless spiritual and ultimately uplifting experience....", Ranked #2 in the Village Voice's List of the 10 Best Eps of 1993., "...less upbeat and accessible than the group's debut....But because BEASTER is more demanding than COPPER BLUE doesn't mean it isn't as much fun...", Highly Recommended - "...the songs on COPPER BLUE took him and band toward pop heaven, but thankfully Mould has kept in close touch with his screaming demons. And even though the guy's not that demented, he loudly wrestles with them here with great success...", 9 - Excellent Plus - "...a definitive rites of passage record, which embraces big themes....the grimy, tormented flipside to COPPER BLUE...", 4 Stars - Excellent - "...depression has invigorated Mould to ringing heights of invention....his melodic instinct to head for the heights of epiphany remains intact....very bracing and oddly repeatable...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Six tracks immersed in Christ allegories, rock idolatry and Mould's own resurrection, featuring the most pulverising music of his career..."
