Critical reception

Writing for AllMusic, Mark Deming called the album "Electric Six doing what they do best, with Dick Valentine's gloriously mannered vocals expounding on his myriad obsessions as the guitars, keys, and drums pop behind him like an exceptionally long string of firecrackers", awarding it 3 and a half stars out of 5.[4]

Steve Janes called it "the sound of a rock and roll band respecting its fans, giving them what we have to believe they want", stating that "'How Dare You’ moves seamlessly from the bouncy and poppy numbers like "Arrive Alive" and "She’s a Forgery" to the brooding and menacing "Dark Politics" and the title track "How Dare You"".[5]

gollark: With no particular incentive to except that the "friend" might not like it otherwise?
gollark: So companies are supposed to just give goods to their "friends"...?
gollark: To some extent, but it's fuzzier, and how is that meant to work for *factories* or whatever?
gollark: And it's (very roughly) gotten by providing stuff people want, so organizations which can do that can pay more than ones which can't.
gollark: And "who can pay most" is simple and objective.
