Critical reception edit

AllMusic wrote that the album "didn't have much to say, but said it with enough base humor and zealous punk antics to keep the spirit of comic anti-revolution alive."[2] Exclaim!, reviewing the reissue, called it "a dopey and young record that basically defies serious criticism."[6] Louder Sound deemed the album "a day-glo classic of ramshackle excess and high-concept absurdity."[7]
