In a review of Carver City, guitar website Ultimate Guitar Archive noted that "A#1 Roller Rager vacillates between broody and raging".[1] PopMatters writer Lana Cooper described the song as "wickedly melodic", and claimed that it sounded "vaguely reminiscent" of alternative rock band Foo Fighters.[2] Phil Freeman of music website AllMusic compared the style of the track's guitar riff to the band Fu Manchu.[3]

The music video for "A#1 Roller Rager" was directed by drummer Jess Margera's brother Bam Margera and produced by Joe Frantz, with post-production effects added by Backseat Conceptions.[7] The video was released in May 2009, shortly after the single and the album.[8]
