The Rolling Stone Album Guide[8]

The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that "the Waitresses is one of the very few bands that makes comedy records that also work as good music, solid rock 'n' roll."[9] Robert Christgau noted that, "instead of cutting back on verbiage, Chris Butler solves his clutter problem by revving the music up so high it blares over its own complexity."[7] Trouser Press deemed the album "another batch of witty and wise songs about the exigencies of modern womanhood," but opined that "the formula doesn’t wear all that well."[10] The Washington Post determined that "Butler has a punkishly academic way with tunes, and most of these are endearing in a hook-laden, sassy vein."[11]
