Critical reception
The Others was met with "mixed or average" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 52 based on 9 reviews.
In a review for AllMusic, Jason Damas wrote: "The Others' eponymous debut borrows from the sneering, dingy punk rock of the Sex Pistols, but slowed down and delivered more menacingly while opting for a scathing, unpretentious, and populist take on nu-new wave." Damas went on to say the tracks sound "unnecessarily limp and under-written, rendering the entire affair a mere display of this band's potential."
