Critical reception
The Chicago Reader wrote that the album "refracts hooky midwestern power pop from the late 70s and early 80s—Cheap Trick, the Shoes—through the prisms of British-invasion rock and brash punk ... insanely catchy."[1]Trouser Press called it "an inadequately produced but brilliant collection of weirdly derivative originals played with spirit and power."[5]Perfect Sound Forever wrote: "Hearing Green was like hearing The Beatles' Second Album for the first time; an overwhelming freshness coupled with eerie familiarity... like experiencing music for the first time for the second time ... It's one of the most startling debuts ever recorded."[6]
