Critical reception

The most positive reviews came from Robert Christgau who gave it a rating of A- and AllMusic's David Jeffries who said that the album "should satisfy giggling Right On! readers with pin-ups in their locker, way too cool mash-up fans that carry gigabytes of club music in their pocket, and all the freaky party people in between." Negative reviews came from Simon Vozick-Levinson of Entertainment Weekly who called the album a "teenage wasteland filled with monotonously looped chants and agonizing blunt-force beats."
