Critical reception
editThe Guardian wrote that "at times – especially on 'Tarred and Feathered' – the sentiments being expressed somehow manage to sound more vital than the roughly hewn punk-pop used to express them."[3] PopMatters wrote that "there is nothing new or surprising about Dogs."[4] NME wrote that "if it's bug-eyed reprobates with angry hearts powering aneurysm-inducing buzzsaw pop [that you are seeking], then you've just found your summer's soundtrack."[5] The Encyclopedia of Popular Music praised the album, writing that it lived up to the hype generated by the band's singles and live show.[1]
