Reception
editIn 2003, Aubin Paul, writing for Punknews.org said "'Career Objective' is a testament to the fact that punk is neither dead, nor does it suck,"[1] also noting the album demonstrated how punk had changed from prior eras.
Later the same year, Shawn Merril of Exclaim! wrote, "Career Objective ... displays a natural progression into a more established and stronger songwriting foundation, without tarnishing their inherent juvenile behaviour."[2]
Stewart Mason of AllMusic wrote "Career Objective is the sort of record that a 14-year-old kid and his 30-something uncle could both rock out to without complaint."[3] Mason highlights aspects of multiple songs including the "musical sophistication" of "You Don't Know Me Anymore".
