Critical reception
Ira Robbins, in Trouser Press, wrote that "Don Caballero hasn’t completely sacrificed its softer side to the gods of skronk, and the meditative 'Cold Knees (in April)' suggests the sound of several thumb pianos, arranged by
Philip Glass and fingered by
Einstürzende Neubauten."[5]

The album suffers consistently from a misreading of the track listing on internet sources whereby "Dick Suffers Is Furious with You" and "Cold Knees (in April)" are switched in the order with "P, P, P, Antless" and "Repeat Defender." However, on careful examination of the CD booklet, the track listing is divided into 4 sections (I. "Stupid Puma" & "please tokio, please THIS IS TOKIO", II. "P, P, P, Antless" & "Repeat Defender", III. "Dick Suffers Is Furious with You" & "Cold Knees (in April)", IV. "Rollerblade Success Story" & "No One Gives a Hoot About FAUX-ASS Nonsense"). The track listing on Touch & Go's website compounds the confusion by offering the song "Cold Knees (in April)" for listening but naming it as "Repeat Defender".
