Critical reception

The Washington Post thought that the songs "show plenty of Ramones (and Buzzcocks) influence, both in their simple, speedy melodies and the bratty sense of humor." [7] Phoenix New Times deemed the album "16 tracks of tortured love and loss" and "a more eclectic bunch of songs than on Love Is Dead." [8]

AllMusic wrote: "Judging by the ambivalent commercial reaction to this wonderful slab of plastic, even if the MTX record the Rubber Soul of today's music era, they will nevertheless be ignored." [3]
