Reception

Jan Wisniewski from The Music said "Tom Ballard and Alex Dyson have been hosting the triple j Breakfast Show since 2010 and have now compiled a selection of their favourite moments. The longtime friends from Warrnambool share an easy rapport... [and] despite their comradery, the best spots are saved for callers, who, with some minor prompting from the hosts, are sources of hilarity." Wisniewski concluded saying, "There is no doubt there are some funny moments on this album but the short length of the tracks and hearing many of the jokes out of context makes The Bits We're Least Ashamed of no more satisfactory an experience than listening to a regular triple j Breakfast broadcast. But for those who are great fans of Ballard and Dyson, the chance to relive these moments is merit enough for this release."[2]
