The Calgary Herald noted that "most of the music and pedantic lyrics tend to irritate instead of stimulate." [7] The Chicago Tribune deemed "Yeah, You Want It!" an "offensive, date-rape anthem." [8]

AllMusic wrote that "the music overall appears to have been constructed in hopes of pleasing both the mainstream pop audience and hair-sprayed headbangers." [10]
