AllMusic wrote that the album "didn't have much to say, but said it with enough base humor and zealous punk antics to keep the spirit of comic anti-revolution alive".[5] Exclaim!, reviewing the reissue, called it "a dopey and young record that basically defies serious criticism".[6] Louder Sound deemed the album "a day-glo classic of ramshackle excess and high-concept absurdity".[7]
