    The title of this album is a perfect description of its eschewment of everything decent: Listening to it is like having sex with your father.

    Nothing here that others have not done better and more subtly, from Chrissie Hynde to Li'l Kim. If she weren't white, would she even have a recording contract?

    This recording is an Electro disco punk slam that captures the real down and dirty esscence of pure rock and roll -- It rocks!

    If you're looking for punk-electronica, this is it. More great Bikini Kill meets electronica meets rap. Not as crisp as "Teaches...", but it definitely still kicks. It has more of a basic rock flavor, more hip-hop, too.

    if you like chicks on speed and gravy train this will suit you. Peaches doesn't shave because she is inhibited, not because she wants to make a statement... Her music is all about the (horny) female's view on sex! Its a good recipitant! SEX IS GOOD AND MAKES YOU HAPPY SO WILL PEACHES!

    Nearly all of Fatherfucker falls back into ostensibly bracing anthems that sound plain stupid in such abundance.

    Now grafting meaty guitars and ferocious singing onto her minimal electronic beats, she summons the very spirit of rock & roll. [26 Sep 2003, p.95]

    Takes her dirty white girlisms to an even more profound yet still salacious place. [Nov 2003, p.89]
