Critical reception
Reviewer Steve Spinali of Maximum Rocknroll commented positively on the original 1984 release with "The DICKIES' first vinyl in almost four years ranks up there near their previous funnypunk triumphs. Most of the eight songs here veer toward amphetamine pop, with irresistible layered choruses to boot, but the highlights include the poppish 'Rosemary,' 'She's a Hunchback,' and an incredibly fast cover of LED ZEP's 'Communication Breakdown.' Buoyant and entertaining as hell!"[ 6]
