Critical reception

The Austin Chronicle called the album "supersheeny corporate punk."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The Los Angeles Times wrote: "Call ‘em Blink-91—a cut-rate, half-price take on Blink-182’s melodic power-punk, minus the puerile wit and deceptively smart commentary (in other words, the character)."<ref name="auto"/> Texas Monthly deemed the album "the smartest power pop to break out of Texas in years."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Style Weekly wrote that "bubble-gum punk, pseudo-rap, and watered-down 'alternative' rock are all present."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The Morning Call considered it "slightly above-average pop-punk that plays with dynamics more than usual, though not enough to transcend the overdone and tired genre."<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

The Village Voice chose the band's cover of "Boyz-N-The-Hood" as the 46th worst song of the 2000s.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
