  1. AllMusic

    A hilarious effort loaded with satirical song parodies and rock & roll spoofs.
  2. Amazon.com
    80
    Always clever, sometimes hysterical, and sometimes cloying, Lynch is a way hipper Weird Al for the post-millennium MTV generation.
  3. Rolling Stone
    80
    Hearing twenty-one Lynch-penned songs back to back gets exhausting.
  5. The Guardian
    80
    Goofy two-minute singalongs for the Jackass generation.
  6. Pitchfork

    This is a guy that more than understands the music he's goofing on-- he worships it.
  7. Mojo

    If you think The Rutles' Double Back Alley is better than Penny Lane, then this just-over-35-minute's worth of semi-reverential fun is for you. [Aug 2003, p.95]
