Critical reception
Шаблон:Album ratings The Washington Post wrote that "Kempner spreads on the working-class persona a little thick at times, but this is still the equal of any previous Del-Lords set."[7] The Toronto Star deemed the album "a rip-snorting, noisy, trashy little garage opus."[8]
The Chicago Tribune determined that "the album, energy and polish notwithstanding, emerges as a good but not great package with a faintly 'generic' feel."[9] The New York Times concluded that "the straightforward, stomping rock songs on the band's third album ... insist on independent thinking and truthfulness."[10]
