Critical reception
The Washington Post wrote that "the band's most convincing songs are designed for those with short attention spans and bad attitudes: Shattuck's guitar snarls, she gripes and then they're over." The Los Angeles Times called the songs "concise, crisply played and melodic." Salon wrote that the album "takes the listener on a blissful, blistering 45-minute joyride."
