People wrote: "When the Milkmen played their first punk parodies in the mid-1980s, they sounded appropriately fresh. Now they sometimes seem to be as dated as the music they ridicule."[17] The Chicago Tribune deemed the album "more screaming, more production and less melody."[12] The Ottawa Citizen called it "funny, loud, fast and violent."[18]
The Los Angeles Times wrote that "parody is in safe hands with the Dead Milkmen."[19] The Colorado Springs Gazette-Telegraph called Metaphysical Graffiti "a savagely sarcastic collection of commentaries on greed and religion."[20]The Washington Post thought that "Milkmen albums usually turn on the existence of a single standout tune-'Bitchin' Camaro', for example, or 'Punk Rock Girl'-and this outing doesn't seem to have one."[21]
