The album was given a positive review by Rolling Stone Magazine, in their July 17, 1986 issue. Reviewer David Fricke wrote that the album was “the perfect refresher, a bracing bop cocktail of daffy comic relief, canny pop songwriting, and punk-rock drive.” Band leader Scott McCaughey noted in 2020 that many of the album's songs remain in the band's setlists to the day.[3]
The album was later re-released as a two-for-one double CD with their first album, The Fabulous Sounds of the Pacific Northwest.
In 2026, the band released a new album, Loft. The album cover was a deliberate throwback to this 1985 album.[4]
