Critical reception

AllMusic called the album "more Poison than punk rock," writing that "the Lunachicks' follow-up to the promising Babysitters on Acid is disjointed and disappointing."[1] Trouser Press wrote that "Binge and Purge, which contains sharply ironic songs about women’s self-image concerns, is the Lunachicks’ great leap forward."[5] Simon Reynolds and Joy Press highlighted the "gleeful revelling in (rather than the repulsion from) the messy murk of female bodiliness."[6] The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that the album is not without "its simplistic Ramonesy charms," but that "when the 'Chicks upchuck their sense of humor, their monolithic music gets boring fast."[7]
