A vinyl version—which didn't appeared at the time of the original release despite the album's retro aesthetic—was released in 2012 on SideOneDummy Records.[8]

The album peaked at No. 158 on the Billboard 200.[9]

Critical reception

The Encyclopedia of Popular Music wrote that the album "suffered from a cleaner production than their independent debut, losing some of the band's rough power pop charm in the process."[3] Trouser Press wrote: "That [John] Davis’ vulnerably sweet and sour songwriting is in full effect is the album’s saving grace, but the audible sense of what Superdrag is about has changed a lot."[1]
