Critical reception
Ox-Fanzine wrote that "the Pegboy variant of melodic guitar punk deliberately aims to avoid catchy tralala schemes." The Wisconsin State Journal wrote that "on each successive recording, the Chicago band's upbeat, elemental pop punk rock sounds ever more invigorating." The Chicago Reader called Cha Cha Damore the band's best album.
