The band released a music video for the song "Jolene".[6] "Time" originally appeared on the band's demo cassette, Connecticut Ska. "Makisupa Policeman" is a cover of the Phish song.[7]

Critical reception

The Houston Press called the band "an insufferably sunny septet from Connecticut's bedroom-community wasteland," writing that "all of it goes down as easily as room-temperature Bud Light inhaled through an Olympic-sized beer bong."[3] The Omaha World-Herald deemed the album "good ska tunes—many with a rock edge."[8]

AllMusic wrote that "while Spring Heeled Jack earned themselves a niche in the East Coast ska scene with their debut album Static World View, the follow-up Songs From Suburbia is far superior."[2]
