Reception

PopMatters criticized the album's lack of originality, writing that it sounded similar to "other over-played “punk” groups on MTV", and described Chambers' voice as "whiny", but concluded that "you could do worse than Forbidden Meat." Alex Henderson of AllMusic gave the album a positive retrospective review, writing that "is funnier, more clever, and more memorable than what much of the competition had to offer in 2001."

The album was commercially successful in the United States and Japan.
