Critical reception
editChronicles of Chaos wrote that "no amount of musical invention would be able to drown out [Tairrie] B's relentlessly self-obsessed and tiresome whining."[4] CMJ New Music Report called the album "the most dirt-encrusted rock Miss B has ever attempted," writing that My Ruin "walks the razor's edge between subversive femininity and pro-womanhood."[2]
