Exclaim! called the album "the band's most natural commingling of music and message yet ... Equal amounts of attention are paid to crafting sultry, unforgettable tunes as cramming double entendres into every line."[7] Magnet wrote that it "retains the group’s signature melodic songs and humorous, homo-tawdry lyrics."[8] Tucson Weekly wrote that "the joke is obvious but doesn't ever get old, because underneath the cartoonish simplicity, the music is actually, well, fun as hell."[9] The Advocate wrote: "With a sense of humor as sharp-witted as ever, the seminal S.F. queercore combo is still on top of their game, taking on heteronormative hypocrisy in their triumphant return after a six-year hiatus."[10]
