Reception
Kurt Morris of Allmusic gave Cover Ups two stars out of five, commenting that "Some of the tunes seemed marred by the band trying to be funny and instead being annoying (the snotty "na-na-na" chorus on 'I Melt with You ,' the high-pitched girly shrieking on 'Leader of the Pack ,' etc.) ... Highlights of the album would no doubt be the Kiss cover and Bill Stevenson of Black Flag , All , and the Descendents doing drums and guitar on the Black Flag tune ... cover albums are (in almost all cases) for fans only. Cover Ups is no exception."[ 1]
