Critical reception

The Washington Post said that "the Muffs mostly play a style of rootsy pop-rock that's been making the rounds in Southern California for some 15 years."^[1]

AllMusic wrote: "There's a certain charm to the group's 3-chord riffing and primitive rhythms that seems to have most appeal when driving a vehicle beyond the posted speed limit on a hot, sunny day. But stretched over 16 tracks, the forced minimalism begins to wane in appeal."
