Considered by many to be Band of Susans' mature masterpiece, VEIL received praise from all quarters. Melody Maker called it “the kind of record that puts everything else into perspective. Compared to all the turgid, overstrained rock that s been clawing its way from America these past years, VEIL soars like Lindbergh's plane...A sublime, breathtaking fluency. This is rock at its most liberated and free-flowing.” NME said that “[i]t's about an enduring love of guitars that borders on potential deafness, about having the last passionate embrace of rock n roll's blistered sorry being. It's about leaving the cliches to rest,” while Alternative Press called VEIL “undeniably great, an epic swell of guitar and noise.” Writing in Rolling Stone Magazine, Robert Palmer wrote: All hail the overdriven amp, the feedback-saturated guitar pickup, the hum of harmonic sustain, the clamorous collision of power chords in the heart of the sonic maelstrom....Let us now praise Band Of Susans.” The Wire saw Veil as “a crucible of high art and trash rock culture,” while the Chicago Tribune noted that “Band Of Susans never loses sight of the passion that underscores the rigorous intellect of their music.”
