Track listing

Critical response

New Yorker called the album "a smart, relentlessly exuberant thirty-eight-minute demonstration of chutzpah and musicianship, despite the band's affinity with the fizzy amateur energy of punk." Rolling Stone called the band on this album "three bad-news London kids who came to knock you out, take your money and blow your mind," and gave the album three-and-a-half stars. Entertainment Weekly said that Shoniwa's "show-offy noodling derails the last few cuts, but when the Noisettes connect, they're a euphoric mix of Bow Wow Wow and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs."
