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.
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"".
