AllMusic
Chicago Tribune

The Chicago Tribune wrote: "Almost consistently a mid-tempo project, Icing never accelerates to the cathartic pace typical of a thrash band." The San Antonio Express-News deemed the band "something of an underground supergroup ... whose ultra-heavy sound has been compared to everyone from Black Sabbath to Flipper to the Melvins".
