PopMatters[2]

PopMatters gave the album seven out of ten stars, saying "there’s more variety and nuance here than ever before; jokey hardcore runs seamlessly into mid-tempo stomps and bad-girl anthems, all powered by Luis Cabezas’ satisfyingly fuzzy guitars and delivered with an economy (13 songs in 37 minutes) that would have made Dee Dee and the boys proud. Barefoot and Pregnant is deeply hooky, melodic, wacky and at least as delightfully bratty as 2007’s Because I’m Awesome."[2]

At Alternative Press, Jason Schreurs rated the album two out of five stars, calling the vast majority of the album is "way too predictable, feeling overly long at 13 songs"[3]

gollark: Not developer tools.
gollark: Their business is selling extravagantly shiny finished products at huge markup.
gollark: Apple would *never* do that.
gollark: Apple does have really impressive ARM CPU core designs, so this isn't massively surprising.
gollark: There's VirusTotal and stuff, but it's not foolproof and if in doubt just don't run it.
