Critical reception

The editorial board of AllMusic Guide gave this album four out of five stars, with reviewer JT Griffith calling it "a fun novelty record, but not a classic comedy album". Rolling Stone gave the release one star out of five. Billboard declared the album an "utterly inane disk that does not lack charm and merit".
Record World said that the second single "Dis-Gorilla" was "every bit as outrageous and could be every bit the hit." "Dis-Gorilla" did not repeat the success of "Disco Duck", only reaching #56 on the Billboard Hot 100.
