The album has received a mixed-to-favorable response from critics. AllMusic critic Darryl Cater stated that "Cake's minimalist jams occasionally get repetitive", though he concluded that "there are enough standouts here to easily qualify Motorcade as a keeper."[1] Music reviewer Robert Christgau described the album as "unambiguity from the near side of cool."[3]
Legacy
In 2005, the song "I Bombed Korea" was translated into Hebrew and performed by Zeev Tene under the title "Beirut" (Hebrew: ביירות), with "Korea" replaced by "Lebanon" in the lyrics. This version was included on the soundtrack of the film Waltz with Bashir (2008).
