Critical reception

The Dallas Observer called the album a "sloppy pastiche of punk and funk [that] operates on the sort of wit that rhymes 'split ends' with 'Michael Jackson and his little friends.'"[6] Caroline Sullivan reviewed the album unfavorably in the Guardian, writing, "The 15 songs, all of which were previously on singles or EPs, range from mildly amusing to not very (the gosh-this-is-fun screeching on the manic Secret Sex Friend). You can't imagine wanting to play this twice."[7]
