ReviewsRanked #7 in Spin's "Top 10 Reissues of the Year 2000"., 9 out of 10 - "...Hypnotically groovy...a cross between the Isley Brothers and the Shaggs....their DIY tracks have a raw, unfinished feel...and always delivering what their titles promise...", "They made minimalist, Latin-tinged housing project funk that wowed post-punks and also beat-biting hip-hoppers.", 8 out of 10 - "...Filled with a timeless teenage spirit that refuses to age, even as its owners grow old...", "...Chronicles the journey of the Scroggins sisters...from the South Bronx housing projects to the toast of the early/mid-80s punk-funk scene....a charmingly nanve, bass-heavy, skeletal funk...", 5 stars out of 5 - "...One of the most lasting documents any post-punk band has ever produced....Absolutely instinctive, absolutely ahead of its time, absolutely unmissable..."
