Critical reception

[edit]

AllMusic wrote: "Now and then, [Hinson] moves from twangy country to rock rhythms and screaming guitar solos, if only to send up rock culture ('Hippie Girl', 'Rock 'n Roll Is Straight From Hell'). It's all in fun, and there are some excellent candidates for the Dr. Demento radio show, even if this isn't the most original comedy around."[1] Country Standard Time called it "a triumph of character-based satire."[6]
