Reception

Trouser Press writer Ira Robbins described the album as a "treasure trove of memorable ditties". Allmusic's Mark Deming said the album "isn't purist's punk, but it's pure rock & roll, and there's nothing wrong with that." In his consumer guide for The Village Voice, critic Robert Christgau described the album as "good new-fashioned rock and roll at its wildest".
