Trouser Press writes that the album "[revives] the grind-and-caterwaul of Teenage Jesus as filtered through Metal Box-era PiL, all deviant guitar and rolling rhythms".[1] UK magazine Fact wrote that "sonically it comes over like a more droning, dissolute Stateside cousin of Siouxsie & the Banshees' Juju".[2] The musicians who played on and co-wrote the album had been members of first wave Los Angeles punk band the Weirdos.
13.13 has divided critics. Trouser Press wrote that "Like her previous stuff, it manages to be simultaneously fascinating and annoying."[1] In its retrospective review, Fact magazine qualified it as a "masterpiece".[2]
