AllMusicStarStarStarHalf star4

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
