Critical reception

The Gazette noted that "there is more of everything—sex, danceability, power chords, smooth balladry, samples, with singer Drew Ling's insinuating voice living up to its owner's name."[11] The Globe and Mail wrote: "Bootsauce bounds all over the musical map, mulching early Pink Floyd sci-fi rock with Public Enemy-styled rapping ('Touching Cloth'), emulating Extreme on the ballad 'What Cha' Need', resurrecting Dr. John on the New Orleans-styled 'Dog Pound', and paying tribute to Sly and the Family Stone."[12] The Edmonton Journal determined that "assertive hard rock lays the foundation for snippets of soul falsetto, New Orleans gumbo and busy, Frank Zappa-ish orchestration."[13]
