Reception

Motorcade of Generosity has received a mixed-to-favorable response from critics. AllMusic critic Darryl Cater stated that "Cake's minimalist jams occasionally get repetitive." Nevertheless, Cater also noted that "there are enough standouts here to easily qualify Motorcade as a keeper." Music reviewer Robert Christgau described the album as "unambiguity from the near side of cool."
In 2005 the song I Bombed Korea was translated into Hebrew and performed by Zeev Tene under the title Beirut, with Korea replaced by Lebanon. This version was included on the soundtrack of the film Waltz with Bashir.
