awarded ''Stillborn'' two and a half out of five stars. ''Aiding & Abetting'' commented that the material featuring contributions from other musicians was of high quality but criticized the album for not living up to '' Loaded'' and said "the only real problem here is that three of the nine tracks are radio edits, which basically shorten good songs into mindless (and less interesting) snippets."
