The Globe and Mail concluded that "it's probably the band's most entertaining and satisfying album and certainly the first to fully reflect Berg's twisted sense of humour."[11] The Calgary Herald noted that "while songwriters like Paul Westerberg and Cracker's David Lowry deliver their social commentary with subtlety, Berg beats you over the head and begs to be taken seriously."[10]

The Vancouver Sun panned "the dreadful blues-plod" of "I Should Know".[12] The Record wrote that the "lyrics aim for high satire ... but repeatedly miss, too often forsaking irony in favor of far less effective poses like outrage and self-pity."[4]

AllMusic deemed the album a "blend of crunching arena rock and tuneful power-pop."[9]
