Critical reception

Trouser Press called Ourselves "state of the art: intelligent lyrics of personal and political consequence, moderately powerful singing, buzzing guitars and brisk tempos."[6] Spin called it "fun, fast and smart—a pleasant alternative to mall-born pop slush and three-time losers retreading Dolls riffs."[1]
