Reception
The Canberra Times said, "If there was ever any doubt that The Cruel Sea is not just very cool, but also very "musically sound", then this collection of B-sides will erase it. The album is loosely-formatted, and a bit tongue-in-cheek. What it lacks by way of polished production it makes up for with bump and-grind blues and camp fire music."[2]
