On behalf of AllMusic, Jason Lymangrover wrote,
The first line of In Your Office sums up the fifth Circus Devils album Sgt. Disco nicely: "There is beautiful pandemonium." . . . the songs run the gamut from bizarre skeletal sludge topped with psychedelic bits and strange pseudo-poetics to greasy mock grunge rock. Like them or not, you have to respect the Devils' idiosyncratic tenacity and their relentless pursuit of a wild artistic vision. If you're into the eccentric, wedge this one between your Syd Barrett and Frogs CDs and brace yourself for one hell of a trip.[1]Boston's Weekly Dig added,
Shanties, Throbbing Gristle-esque loops and noises, stoner jams and mini-pop-operas all piled like vignettes and miniatures averaging about 90 seconds. But they pile carefully, thoroughly producing a world within each. No lo-fi sketchbooks mastered to CD here.[2]
