Village Voice critic Robert Christgau mockingly wrote: "Inspirational Clichés: 'doin' our own thing,' 'different strokes for different folks,' 'rather fight than switch.' Inspirational Emphases: 'very important,' 'very very very very true,' 'truly truly.' Inspirational Epithet: 'hope-to-die woman.' Inspirational Drum Sound: 'thwop.'" [2]
In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked the album at number 281 the magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, [4] and at 283 in a 2012 revised list. [5]
