The San Francisco Bay-area pop punk/hardcore act Set Your Goals named themselves after this album.[5]

Critical reception

Ira Robbins, in Trouser Press, wrote: "Making the most of clear sound, tight, unfussy playing and a full complement of rhythmic shifts (these guys remember when moshing was a dance tempo, not a slamming catch-all), CIV recycles with detailed dignity."[6]
