Reception
In Melody Maker, Lynden Barker described the album as "marvellous", saying that "(t)hough not as immediately appealing as God ... it possesses a multi-layered makeup that becomes more and more exciting on each successive spin".[5] Douglas Baptie of The Digital Fix wondered "Why wasn't it more popular?" and said that the album "somehow combines the best qualities of the previous two".[6] The List's Neil Cooper called Attitude "the most honed, conventionally focused and 'produced'" of Rip Rig + Panic's three.[7]
