Critical reception

More information Review scores, Source ...

In its review, AllMusic suggests that the album and its "even noisier follow-up, Pussy Whipped, might be all the Bikini Kill one needs".[3] Characterizing the compilation as "[a]ggressive, lippy, and none-too-disciplined", Rough Guides reviewer Owen James noted that it "nonetheless managed to sound like a triumph of female bonding against the odds".[1] Rolling Stone described it as "caustic, daring, and shamelessly didactic, a two-by-four to the chops of patriarchy".[4]
