    For the most part, this is a very fun and enjoyable album. Some songs ("Misuse Their Bodies", "Electronic Wolves") are immediate dance-punk classics while others ("Executive Foliage", "Chewy Poison") are flat out annoying. At the high points of this album it is clear that Beep Beep could be that band to fill in the dance-punk niche that indie rock so desperately needs.

    Business Casual is fierce and competent, and evinces the rippling of powerful musical muscles. But its affectations are so grating that it's tough to make it through it all in a single listen.

    [Bemberger's] annoyingly wordy yelp carries only a few memorable lines and fewer melodies. [14 Oct 2004, p.98]
