Critical reception
Chronicles of Chaos wrote that "no amount of musical invention would be able to drown out B's relentlessly self-obsessed and tiresome whining." CMJ New Music Report called the album "the most dirt-encrusted rock Miss B has ever attempted," writing that My Ruin "walks the razor's edge between subversive femininity and pro-womanhood."Track listing
