[7] The single reached No. 17 on the ARIA Hitseekers chart [8] and also peaked at No. 7 on the AIR Singles charts in February 2005. [9]
In a review by the Oz Music Project, "Jesus I Was Evil" was described as "an anarchic tale of youth rebellion pummelled into sensible, reformed adulthood.", whilst the reviewer considered that "Everybody's Ugly" "...continues on the mutinous path with a gritty rock feel that almost can’t decide whether to be punk or rock, or perhaps the bastard child of both styles." [10]
All songs written by Eddie Jacobson, except where noted [11]
