It was the last Dinosaur Jr. album with original bassist Lou Barlow until Beyond in 2007. NME critic Jack Barron deemed \u003ci\u003eBug\u003c\/i\u003e \"the most comprehensive rock statement of the year so far\" in a 1988 review for the magazine, noting Dinosaur Jr.'s predominantly \"torpid\" approach and commenting that the music \"trepidates everyday reality away\", while rating the album \"8.999999\" on a ten-point scale. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a retrospective review of \u003ci\u003eBug\u003c\/i\u003e for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine described \"Freak Scene\" as the album's \"masterpiece\" and opined, \"Although the majority of the album is firmly situated in the sprawling, noisy metallic fusion of hard rock and avant noise, \u003ci\u003eBug\u003c\/i\u003e also demonstrates that J Mascis has a talent for winding folk-rock\".
