Reception edit
- "The Dollyrots are known for their stripped down 3-piece sound and songs from the Ramones school of songwriting - pure pop drenched in attitude. This is true of this record." (Molly Segers, Atlanta Music Guide)[2]
- "Kelly's voice is one that conveys enjoyment of the music that the band plays and as a whole you certainly label them alongside their good friends Bowling For Soup as "feel good" music. Luis's riffs are energetic and groove filled which further help add to the feel good factor and tick the boxes as far as quality pop punk is concerned." (Jamie Giberti, Scribes of Metal)[3]
- "The record sounds slicker than a slice of Velveeta that's been sitting out on the counter all day, but every song sounds like a hit." (Tim Sendra, Allmusic)[4]
- "The Dollyrots' self-titled CD doesn't stray far from previous offerings, with the signature chug-chug style and catchy melodies the group is known for. Fans of the Ramones will once again find plenty to eat up." (Matt Munoz, The Bakersfield Californian)[5]
