Aiding & Abetting called Dick Smoker Plus "a wildly diverse set of tunes (two EPs and two creative bands will do that to you) that could probably have used some cohesion, but will suffice in its current form. Some wonderful noises going on."[3] Tom Schulte of AllMusic awarded the album three out of five stars and said "the "Dick Smoker" mixes are anthemic; potent and memorable" and that the bands "mix it up and mix each other in powerful, hard industrial forays." The critic went on to say "If Ministry and Godflesh bore you – and you do not want to be bored again – do your homework on both Cop Shoot Cop and Meathead."[2] Sonic Boom gave the album a mixed review, saying "Musically this EP is all over the place. It ranges from the very traditional guitar, drums, bass of CSC to club remixes almost totally devoid of a guitar" and "If you are either a CSC or Meathead completist you will want to pick up this EP which has tracks that appear nowhere else."[1]
