The Windsor Star called the album "a brash, often funny collage of rock styles that at least shows Didjits is a band that has fun while it works."[5] The Toronto Star deemed it "a dog's breakfast of racial and sexist slurs set to a galloping, guitar-killer beat," noting that it was parody."[6] The Chicago Sun-Times labeled it "the band's high point."[7]
