Ben Lasman of CMJ New Music Monthly, in a negative review, wrote that the album "plays like a cleaned-up retrospective of modern rock cliches flooded with misguided cock-rock swagger".[1] Comparing its sound to Faith No More, Stephen Seigel of Tucson Weekly called The Spoils less dissonant than expected but "no less thrilling for the lack of it".[2] Writing in Boise Weekly, Brandon Nolta called it "edgy, sometimes creepy and never less than entertaining", though it may not appeal to fans of its members' former bands.[3] Greg Prato of AllMusic described it as "both arty and exploratory" without being snobbish. Prato compared the sound to first generation post-punk bands, including Barker's own The Blackouts.[4]
