 Yahoo! Music reviewer, Bill Holdship, called the album "a rather nondescript ska-pop effort". Allmusic gave the album a mixed review, calling it "a polished production". It described the music on the album as "pop-orientated", with "new wave keyboards and punchy brass proving a foil to the basic ska framework", and complimented Gwen Stefani's "extroverted" vocals. Rhapsody also gave the album a positive review, albeit retrospectively, calling it "a far cry from the radio pop [the band] became known for". It described the music as "bright, colorful, fun" and Gwen Stefani's vocals as "strong".
