John Bush of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 out of 5 stars, writing, "they're practically the only underground rap group to talk about sex often (and explicitly), and their tracks accept the limitations of old-school rap and bass music, but boast an agility that makes them sound positively post-millennial." [1] Andy Battaglia of The A.V. Club stated that "The album's air of experimental austerity finds a good foil in devilish basslines and clattering rhythm runs more concerned with party-starting." [3] Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian commented that "[Spank Rock's] debut album spans Latin party music, 1980s electro and samples lifted from primitive computer games." [5] Kendra G. of Okayplayer wrote, "Because of the overwhelming amount of musical references they apply, Spank Rock's music is necessarily progressive, the beats, rhythms, and melodies changing and evolving frequently in the short span of each three or four minute song." [7] Adam Webb of BBC called it "one of 2006's essential releases." [4]
Tiny Mix Tapes placed it at number 24 on the "Favorite Albums of 2006" list. [10] It was nominated for the 2006 Shortlist Music Prize. [2]
