Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote that "Lust has enough of that unique Lindsay guitar squeal to keep the old-timers interested, but traditionalists might be disappointed that Arto’s turning into an out-and-out crooner — and a damn good one at that." The New York Times thought that the album "works with the idea that the subversion of mass-market tastes can be achieved by slipping in noise, odd sounds and other things under a shiny, pop veneer." The Spin Alternative Record Guide wrote that it oozes "sensual, hypnotic funk and samba."
