At the time, they believed this album might be their last (hence the "just three" title[3]) as it was recorded shortly after Watt and Roessler divorced.[3] This led to a fifteen year gap between this album and the followupl dos y dos.[3]
Two of the album's tracks were later expanded upon and re-recorded for Mike Watt's solo album Ball-Hog or Tugboat?.[5][6]
Reception
editPunknews.org gave the album 3.5 out of 5 stars and said "If ever there was a band to serve as a reminder for what "punk" really means as a form of expression, Dos should be it."[5]
