Trouser Press thought that "Steve Larsonâs guitar playing is dynamic-equal parts twang and bang-and the rhythm section of G. Brian Scott and Curtis Grippe rolls along sturdily."[13] The Houston Press wrote that the album "sports the gritty, sandblasted edge the Blossoms lack, not to mention a blazing bounty of hooks," and called "A" "the great lost modern-rock single of 1995."[12]
Noting the Gin Blossoms comparisons, the Wisconsin State Journal stated that Dead Hot Workshop "sounds significantly more raw and energetic."[14] The State considered 1001 "full-on rock 'n' roll, the album R.E.M. wishes it could make."[15] Tulsa World concluded that "1001 is the reactionary next album the Gin Blossoms would have made if Doug Hopkins hadn't killed himself ... Dead Hot's music is nothing terribly new or innovative, but it's done well."[16]
AllMusic deemed the album "guitar-driven working-class rock & roll with a hint of country twang thrown in."[10]
