The Whole SHeBANG: All Mixed Up was released on September 25, 2001. The album contains radio remixes of the songs originally from The Whole SHeBANG. It received a two-star rating from Maria Konicki Dinoia of AllMusic, who thought the album was too similar to the original, remarking: "simply stated, it's the first album, this time with an overproduced sound. Listeners may hear heavier guitars, digitized sound breaks, some funky echoes, and the occasional a cappella break out. Unless you're a hardcore SheDAISY fan, there really isn't anything excitingly new here or that you haven't heard already."[9]
