Critical reception

The Hamilton Spectator wrote: "Mixing trumpets and trombones with hurry-up snare shots and scratchy guitar breaks, Buck-O-Nine prove that ska's hyperkinetic zeal still sounds pretty good when it's matched with a wry, knowing wink." The Calgary Herald thought that "if you live and die by the sound of suburban pseudo-angst with a tight horn section, this is manna from heaven ... If you're living in 1999—heck, even 1998—this already sounds nostalgic."
