Critical reception
Entertainment Weekly called the album "another fine, goofunky mess, chockful of weird hooks and dance-feverish energy."[4] The Nation wrote that the band "is carving out a place devoted to fey weirdness, edgy grooves, and realityskewing lyrics."[9] Trouser Press wrote: "Sacred Cow continues the duo’s tactful progression towards a modern version of Steely Dan-dom."[10] The Boston Globe noted that the album "seems to take its strength from a core of fluid, funky jazz-rock fusion. It sounds as if Donald Fagen of Steely Dan were recruited to join the Presidents of the United States of America."[11]
