Reception
[edit]DIY described "Mexican Fender" as a "perfect three-and-a-half minute slice of giddy, upbeat power-pop, sprinkling Weezer’s trademark “oohs” all over, and has a smattering of self-awareness."[2] Andy Cush at Spin called the song a "spiritual sequel" to "In the Garage" from the band's 1994 self-titled release (aka the Blue Album).[3]
Music video
