Reception
Bradley Stern of MuuMuse described it as a "solid" and "nostalgic" listen, and called it as a "pretty spot-on time capsule of the teenage angst, feisty self-empowerment and fumbling sexual awkwardness that defined early ’00’s high school culture at its best".[2] Sloan Wyatt of AfterglowX summarised "each one makes a unique contribution to a soundtrack that reflects the relentless teenage drama and angst that defined high school, perfect for a nostalgic celebration. Each song fits together to create a memorable and fitting musical compliment to an iconic movie."[3] Cindy White of IGN wrote "completely effective for a lighthearted comedy".[4]
