Maximum RockNRoll zine called Crash Pad "solidly rocking" with a "heavy on the guitars punk sound, and... vocals [that] are mostly snotty with a healthy dose of angry thrown in." (July 2002, Erin Yanke) In 2000 Crash Pad won Moon Magazine's Hogtown Music Award for Best Punk Band, and in 2001 was named to the Alligator's "Hot 20" list of Gainesvilles' Best Bands.
