Stephanie Zacharek named Introducing Cadallaca her third favorite album of 1998.[6] Robert Christgau gave the album an "A" grade, describing it as "a song sluice for an irrepressible talent" (referring to Corin Tucker).[5] Stereo Review concluded that "if Sleater-Kinney had been juvenile delinquents in the '60s, they might have sounded like this: crossing a rough indie rock sound with surf guitar, Farfisa organ, and girl-group harmonies, they could be Ronnie Spector's reckless cousins."[7]
