[2] The album was released on 21 September 2004. [2] In March and April 2005, they toured across the US. [3] In October and November 2005, they supported the Groovie Ghoulies on their headlining North American trek. [4] In April 2010, Dionysus Records in conjunction with the band re-released the album on vinyl. [5] 500 copies of the album were pressed on blue and white opaque vinyl with a download coupon which included the complete album plus three previously unreleased B sides from the album sessions. [6]

Reception

Rick Anderson on Allmusic gave the album a positive review, awarding it four out of five stars. [7] Anderson stated: "The Dollyrots are certainly nothing new -- no genre-transgressing experiments, no incongruous fusions, no mind-expanding instrumental solos or side-long suites. Just 13 tight, compact, sweet, and crunchy bursts of punky power pop". [7] Anderson also praised singer Kelly Ogden, saying that "her voice is clear and sharp, and her delivery is by turns sweet and snotty." [7] Hunter Felt on PopMatters wrote "What Eat My Heart Out does have are elements missing in most paint-by-numbers pop-punk: a sense of true fun, not the forced and contrived "fun" of the Blink-182 wannabes, and an infectious energy", adding that the band "actually seem to be able to translate their well-regarded live shows onto a disc without sacrificing the spontaneity their music requires". [8]
