Critical reception

Trouser Press called the album "more ambitious [than previous releases] thanks in part to minor studio tinkering (on the reverb-laden 'Blossom') and in part to snappy genre juxtapositions — like the Mersey-punk title track and the Lennonish 'Slap Me'."[8] The New Rolling Stone Album Guide called the album "a lightweight goof, rocking through 14 catchy songs in 22 minutes."[3]
