Reception

Allmusic's Eduardo Rivadavia mainly commented on the song titles and lyrics, concluding that "if approached with an open mind and a teenage maturity level, Songs for the Wrong guarantees a good time, if not necessarily great music". [2]

NUVO opined that Songs for the Wrong was "easily worth your $13", mostly owing to its lyrics that "border on hysterical and downright stupid (I mean that as a compliment)". "Most of Songs for the Wrong has that feel-good quality that’s synonymous with the Diarrhea of a Madman release, but a few of the tracks fall short of even B-side quality". [3]

Rough Edge noted that there were also serious songs on the record, namely "Shatila" and "Churchmouse in the Snow". Brockie's inclusion of such songs served "to really hammer his bizarreness home". The rest of the lyrics were "sick, but hilarious" and the music "twisted, loose and dark". [4]
