| AllMusic |   [2] |
AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by Stewart Mason stating, "Some will undoubtedly find the whole enterprise juvenile and distasteful, and frankly, a couple of the parodies are a little too obvious to be clever..., but most of the album is really very funny, for those who like this sort of thing".[2]
