Critical reception
AllMusic called the album "both perfectly named and perfectly performed -- if it's nothing but a revivalist approach at heart, it's such a damn entertaining one that there's no cause for complaint."[3] Trouser Press called it "groovy, authentic-sounding (credit the production by label owner Greg Shaw) garage punk with convincing ’60s clumsiness and sincerity."[2] Maximumrocknroll wrote that "the high points here are an amazingly snot-nosed vocalist with sneering ’60s inflections, some strong original songwriting, an appropriately tinny 'mono' production, and an above-average choice of tunes to cover."[4]
