A song from the album, "Feed Me, Pet Me" was used in a 2002 Hewlett-Packard ad campaign in which the band also appeared.[1]
On August 25, 2004, the Dollyrots signed to Panic Button and Lookout! Records; alongside this, it was announced that the band would release their debut the following month.[2] The album was released on 21 September 2004.[2] In March and April 2005, they toured across the US.[3] In October and November 2005, they supported the Groovie Ghoulies on their headlining North American trek.[4] In April 2010, Dionysus Records in conjunction with the band re-released the album on vinyl.[5] 500 copies of the album were pressed on blue and white opaque vinyl with a download coupon which included the complete album plus three previously unreleased B sides from the album sessions.[6]
Rick Anderson on Allmusic gave the album a positive review, awarding it four out of five stars.[7] Anderson stated: "The Dollyrots are certainly nothing new -- no genre-transgressing experiments, no incongruous fusions, no mind-expanding instrumental solos or side-long suites. Just 13 tight, compact, sweet, and crunchy bursts of punky power pop".[7] Anderson also praised singer Kelly Ogden, saying that "her voice is clear and sharp, and her delivery is by turns sweet and snotty."[7] Hunter Felt on PopMatters wrote "What Eat My Heart Out does have are elements missing in most paint-by-numbers pop-punk: a sense of true fun, not the forced and contrived "fun" of the Blink-182 wannabes, and an infectious energy", adding that the band "actually seem to be able to translate their well-regarded live shows onto a disc without sacrificing the spontaneity their music requires".[8]
All tracks are written by Kelly Ogden and Luis Cabezas except where noted.
