Entertainment Weekly

The twosome's gleeful confections are more than a little over-the-top, but repeat listens will reveal some truely indelible melodies beneath those stylistic frills. [17 Aug 2007, p.73]

The Onion (A.V. Club)

Multi-instrumentalist/producer Junior masters JS's many loves without having to scale them down, and expands Don't Stop's compact party into a show of force.

All Music Guide

Their heavenly mix of mix of giddy silliness, pop smarts and pop culture overload makes Hey Hey My My Yo Yo a fun-filled, joyride from beginning to end.

Spin

The Danish duo condense pop's last 45 years into the pure, simple essence of an early Jackson 5 single. [Sep 2007, p.132]

Lost At Sea

There are some very danceable tracks on the outfit's second release, but nowhere is there a worldwide hit to be found.

Billboard

The b-b-beat continues on Hey Hey My My Yo Yo. In fact, the songs here are more catchy, and yes, more fun.

Slant Magazine

Finally receiving distribution in the U.S., Junior Senior's Hey Hey My My Yo Yo sounds every bit as fresh and exuberant now as it first did in the summer of 2005.

Pitchfork

Skeptics be damned that's just what Hey Hey My My Yo Yo is, an improvement and distillation of the duo's sound.

PopMatters

Junior Senior have not just produced a follow-up to their debut, but a damn good one as well.

Blender

The songs have as much personality as ever, reviving bygone styles, from falsetto lite-funk to electro proto-rap, with goofball energy and a music geek’s careful ear.

Hey Hey is sharper than "D-Don’t," filled out and throbbing like soul should be, not burdened with the entropy of a smattered ramshackle collection all heart and no brains.

Stylus Magazine

Hey Hey is an impressively cohesive collection of pop songs.

Filter

Sometimes you really just don’t feel like dancing--and that’s something the poppy Danish duo Junior Senior doesn’t understand.

Rolling Stone

Junior Senior's track-building smarts and way with a hook add up to non-annoying bliss on a handful of tracks.

Michael S gave it a9:
Amazing album. For those of you looking for another "d-d-dont stup the beat", look elsewhere. Junior Senior's style changes with each song, and the result is an impressive blend of music that is consistent throughout the CD. A must-buy for anyone who calls themselves a fan of music, IMO. The lyrics are amazing, I cant tell you whether or not this is a concept album or not, but the songs definately have a story behind them, regardless of whether or not they all link together. And the bonus EP just seals the deal, this is an amazing package any way you look at it.

Nick P. gave it a4:
Wow! This is so flamboyantly terrible. If you have the opportunity to remove Barney's sing along from your player, take the opportunity to listen to Junior Senior. While the beats are not bad, they certainly cater to a niche market of blind happiness and lyrical drivel.

Yebo P. gave it a10:
It is a 10 out of 10.

Jordan G. gave it a4:
Vomit Skittles onto my checkered Vans. I'll reconsider if someone slips this all sly into a party's GangStarr/Eric B DJ set. Or a nice Stetsasonic mashup.

Bert E gave it a10:
Great party record. Solid and fun all the way. Make sure to get the version with the extra bonus ep!

Chunk A gave it a9:
Verry good follow up to 2005's D-D-Don't Stop The Beat. Fans won't be deceived.
