David Browne of
Entertainment Weekly called
Pussy Whipped "the first great
riot-grrrl album". Heather Phares of
AllMusic said, "'
Rebel Girl' is a manifesto just waiting to be discovered, and the rest of the album sees the band occasionally adding fun to their recipe for punk chaos." In 2016,
Pitchfork placed it at number 10 on its list of the "50 Best Indie Rock Albums of the Pacific Northwest".
Rolling Stone included "Rebel Girl" on its list of the "Most Excellent Songs of Every Year Since 1967", a playlist assembled by the magazine in 2006 to celebrate its 1,000th issue (The version of "Rebel Girl" included here differs from the
Joan Jett–produced single version). ==Track listing==
