The Providence Journal deemed the album "muscular post-punk guitar rock."[6] Trouser Press concluded that "the band's melodic sense comes and goes; too many of the songs dissolve into a cacophonous blur."[7] Robert Christgau praised the "half joke band" aspect of Volcano Suns.[5] Spin included Farced on its list of "80 Excellent Records of the 80s".[8]
