Reviews
Allmusic described it as Fallon's "mix tape of high school fights, bad athletic performances, and collegiate experimentation combined with a dose of rock & roll mayhem"; two of the songs ("Idiot Boyfriends" and "Road Rage") were AMG "Track Picks", as were two of thestand-up comedy routines ("Troll Doll Jingles" and "Hammertime").The "
Rolling Stone " liked the "fifteen minutes' worth of songs" and called "Idiot Boyfriend" the "second-bestPrince parody ever, afterBeck 's 'Debra'"; the rest of the album was said to be "padded out with lame stand-up on college life (the fridges are small!), celebrity impressions andtroll doll s."
