| AllMusic |   [5] |
Pemberton Roach of AllMusic called Lockjaw a "wonderful reminder of the original spirit of ska-punk," elaborating that "Rather than celebrate the meathead/frat boy misogyny and overly simplistic anarchistic politics that have plagued a lot of "third-wave" ska and punk-pop, Dance Hall Crashers choose to throw a big ol' party."[5] Trouser Press considered the album "a marvelous surge of mature and catchy power pop accented with punk juice and set — almost incidentally — to a breathless bluebeat."[6]
