Critical reception

Dean McFarlane of AllMusic called Fire in the Sky "the album that pushed the group from the obscure fringe of the U.S. post-punk underground into a full-blown indie rock legend." Trouser Press wrote that "Jad [Fair] works up a head of punk-rock steam that allows him to zoom manically through hi-energy blasts like 'U.F.O. Expert' and 'Tears Stupid Tears.'”
