Such Friends Are Dangerous received generally positive reviews. Jimmy Draper of AllMusic said that the album is "full of violently emotional catharsis", citing the songs "This Is Not Your Wedding Song" and "The Drop Dead Look" as the "startling centerpieces." ^[2] Prominent music critic Robert Christgau gave the album a 1 star honorable mention, commenting " Carrie Brownstein finds her scream." ^[3] J. Neo of Puncture praised the vocal interplay between Becca Albee and Brownstein, stating that "the way they trade lines and finish each other's songs is electrifying." ^[4]
