AllMusic[1]

AllMusic described Hotwired as the album where the Soup Dragons reached "the happy medium between the slick breakbeats and guitar-based rock & roll", adding that the songs are "among the strongest of the band's career".[1] Both "Pleasure" and "Divine Thing" were alternative dance singles that became moderate hits in the U.S.. Bold production effects include chugging guitars on "Getting Down", a romping harmonica jam on "Running Wild"[2] and gospel choir-like background vocals sprinkled throughout the album.[1]
