Outrageous, shambolic, and bursting with energy, the Dolls borrowed from the amped-up, bluesy swagger of the Rolling Stones, the pop confections of Phil Spector, and the campy theatricality that would flower with the glam movement, yet brought it all together with a visceral impact that recalled the jolt of early rock & roll.

Mojo

5 stars out of 5 - Included in Q's 100 Best Punk Albums - ...A lurid clarion call to the musically disaffected.
Q

4 stars out of 5 - ...Captures both the glory and sorrow of glam, the high jinx and wasted youth, with electric photorealism....[It] remains definitive glitter, the perfect eulogy for a short, spangled era...
