Critical reception
Eduardo Rivadavia of Ultimate Classic Rock ranked the song No. 1 on his list of the 10 best Misfits songs, calling it "astonishing".[1] Dan Ozzi of Diffuser.fm ranked the song No. 8 on his list of the 10 best Misfits songs, writing that "Like most Misfits songs, 'Attitude' doesn't even top two minutes, and really, there's not much to it. Danzig's message is pretty simple: Keep acting like an a—hole, and I'm gonna knock you out."[3]
Rob Kemp of Time Out has noted a reputation of "Attitude", among other Misfits songs, as being "antiestablishment" in nature.Шаблон:Sfn In his book This Music Leaves Stains: The Complete Story of the Misfits, author James Greene, Jr., in speaking of Guns N' Roses' cover of "Attitude" from their 1993 album "The Spaghetti Incident?", called "Attitude" a song that, "more than any other Danzig work, seemed to provide the blueprint for both GNR's adrenaline-heavy sound and Axl Rose's temperamental stage persona".Шаблон:Sfn
