Reception
AllMusic gave the album two and a half stars with its review by Bradley Torreano says "The best way to describe Boy Hits Car, the sophomore effort from the band of the same name, is to combine the elements of a few of their contemporaries. Take the angst and urgency of At the Drive-In, toss in a dash of the playful singing style of System of a Down, and mix in the generic Korn-knockoff riffing of Hed PE. What you get is a band with a lot of good intentions and a great singer, but lacking in songwriting skills."[1]
