Critical reception edit

Alex Henderson of AllMusic states that the EP "epitomizes the more lighthearted, pleasure-loving side of alternative pop/rock" while going on to say that it "projects an attractive identity of its own -- one that is gritty and aggressive, yet poppy and melodic, one that shows a commitment to hooky infectiousness and owes something to hard rock as well as punk and new wave".[1]

"Take Off Your Clothes" edit

Adam Moerder of Pitchfork Media states that "Take Off Your Clothes" "xeroxes "Smells Like Teen Spirit", subbing teen angst for locker room hormones".[4] Jeanne Fury of The Village Voice describes the song as a "drunk dialogue between a horny, groveling Claret and a Sweet Action reject who wants to get acquainted first" while describing Chantal Claret as "being both the cooing, eyelash-batting sex kitten and the screaming, impatient mega-bitch in order to get her way right away".[5]

"New York Girls" edit

Adam Moerder of Pitchfork Media states that "New York Girls" "spoils the album's best bassline with a shoutout straight from 'Bring It On'".[4]
