The Washington Post wrote: "Aside from the mid-tempo, vaguely bluesy 'Sick of My Fix', these 11 songs are little more than a blur—a chord progression, a hyperdrive beat, a bellowed refrain—but that little more is just enough to make them engaging." [10] The Chicago Tribune called the album "a hot rod to cheap thrill punk rock hell." [11]
All tracks are written by Didjits, except "Monkey Suit" by Danny Axeman and Richie Stotts.
