The Dallas Observer called the album a "sloppy pastiche of punk and funk [that] operates on the sort of wit that rhymes 'split ends' with 'Michael Jackson and his little friends.'" [6] Caroline Sullivan reviewed the album unfavorably in The Guardian , writing, "The 15 songs, all of which were previously on singles or EPs, range from mildly amusing to not very (the gosh-this-is-fun screeching on the manic Secret Sex Friend). You can't imagine wanting to play this twice." [7]
