PopMatters criticized the album's lack of originality, writing that it sounded similar to "other over-played “punk” groups on MTV", and described Chambers' voice as "whiny", but concluded that "you could do worse than Forbidden Meat." [1] Alex Henderson of AllMusic gave the album a positive retrospective review, writing that "is funnier, more clever, and more memorable than what much of the competition had to offer in 2001." [3]
The album was commercially successful in the United States and Japan. [2]

All of the songs are written from the point of view of a high school student, and they explore aspects of teenage life. This would be [about] a contemporary teenager. It's not specifically autobiographical of my high school experience. Obviously, those things are incorporated into what I write, but I tried to create a character who is the protagonist in these songs."
