¿Which Side Are You On? said the album was "sweet and to the point." "Now" also gave it three stars out of five and stated that the album "works best when DiFranco points to contradictions within herself, and worst when her lyrics get preachy or black-and-white." "The Daily Telegraph" likewise gave it three stars and said that DiFranco's "worthier sentiments are balanced by maturing wit, self-awareness and the distinctive snap'n'slap of her funky guitar grooves." "Entertainment Weekly", however, gave the album a C and said that DiFranco "gets stuck in too many clunky Big Idea statements about equality and social politics." Adapted from the credits.
