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