'Fast Stories...from Kid Coma' is loosely a concept album, about a comatose kid "reliving a past summer of grandeur".

Trouser Press wrote: "Heavy but never bludgeoning, melodic but never cheesy, excessive but never ridiculous, Fast Stories is an extended trip into several of rock's outer dimensions".

Loudwire ranked the album at twenty-sixth in their list of "The 30 Best Grunge Albums of All Time".

Kerrang! wrote that Fast Stories...from Kid Coma "remains a genuinely vital album, and quite possibly the [grunge] genre's swan song".

Louder Sound named the album in their list of "10 obscure but absolutely essential grunge albums".

MTV called it "the great psychedelic hard rock rush of the year".
