  1. Not bad for a placeholder EP.
  2. Alternative Press
    80
    Parts of the result feel overly defensive and overly techno-y, but "Bang! Bang!" will blow your drawers off... [#155, p.85]
  3. This disc may lack its predecessor's immediacy, but rarely has sophomore slump sounded like such success.
  4. 60
    Fortunately, the energy and enthusiasm with which the seven tunes are hashed out here makes them compelling enough to render the miserly production inconsequential...
  5. Entertainment Weekly
    75
    Features more punk polemics, rhythmic sound collages, and lo-fi gizmo music... [2/2/01, p.102]
  6. They do a good job of mixing humor and fun with their politics...
  7. Mostly, From the Desk of Mr. Lady comes off like sub-standard material that didn't make it on to last year's full-length.
  8. At its weakest moments, From the Desk of Mr. Lady sounds so '80s or early '90s, teetering dangerously on the brink of nostalgia.
  9. Le Tigre deliver a new salvo of pro-woman political savvy on a traipsing train of New Wave punk and tinkertoy keyboards
  10. Another smart, danceable collection of cultural subversion.
  11. There's still plenty of grating screaming and yelling on From the Desk of Mr. Lady, underscored by a strong punk ethos.
  12. After a 34-minute art project that ended up a great album, a 17-minute EP ends up an art project.
