The album was produced by David Eaton. A remixed version of the "Boyz-N-The-Hood" cover appears on the album, after Dr. Dre asked the band to remove certain words.[9]
Critical reception
The Austin Chronicle called the album "supersheeny corporate punk."[10] The Los Angeles Times wrote: "Call ‘em Blink-91—a cut-rate, half-price take on Blink-182’s melodic power-punk, minus the puerile wit and deceptively smart commentary (in other words, the character)."[2]Texas Monthly deemed the album "the smartest power pop to break out of Texas in years."[11]Style Weekly wrote that "bubble-gum punk, pseudo-rap, and watered-down 'alternative' rock are all present."[12]The Morning Call considered it "slightly above-average pop-punk that plays with dynamics more than usual, though not enough to transcend the overdone and tired genre."[13]
The Village Voice chose the band's cover of "Boyz-N-The-Hood" as the 46th worst song of the 2000s.[14]
