Critical reception

The Daily Times wrote that "Pegboy's combination of classic punk structure with John Haggerty's furious guitar work makes it a band to be reckoned with and marks Earwig as one of the fall's best releases."[4] The Chicago Tribune wrote that the band "pours in some of the feel of Seam in lead singer Larry Damore's wistful lyrics, hardened behind a big three-chord grind from ex-Naked Raygun guitarist John Haggerty."[5] Trouser Press called the album "respectable if hardly revelatory," writing that "the pleasure comes in hearing the Haggerty brothers interact; John sounds like he’s trying to drill holes in the wall of the percussion Joe throws up on 'Gordo.'"[6] The Washington Post wrote that "some of the tracks tend to blur, but ones like 'You' and 'Blister' achieve a potent merger of pop and wallop."[7]
