  1. One can't help but feel that this is still a transitional album in general, but at least they've overcome their Garbage fascination and seem to be delivering music more in tune with their attitude and style.
  2. Alternative Press

    Girls Against Boys are still together making pwerful music that detonates the soundtracks of the new subcultures and corporate marketing campaigns. [Jun 2002, p.75]
  3. 80
    GVSB returns with the hallmark components of its early '90s Touch & Go days: piercing guitar riffs, frequent attacks of twin basses, surging percussion, and a heavy dose of vocal sass from Scott McCloud.
  4. Entertainment Weekly
    83
    The bruising ferocity of these songs ensures that GVSB will retain their noisy-boy cult status for as long as that's the musical context they prefer. [17 May 2002, p.78]
  5. Magnet
    80
    Song after song hurts in that oh-so-right way. [#54, p.89]
  6. Has a rhythmic, revving-motorcycle momentum, like the Pixies without all the shrieking, or Sonic Youth without the frustrating feedback experiments.
  7. Spin
    80
    A return to 1994's seduction strategies: pomade-greased riffs, subdermal bass, distorto samples, and free-associative rants about how Miami is cooler than Hollywood. [July 2002, p.112]
