The album peaked at No. 33 on the Billboard 200.[10] It peaked at No. 98 on the UK Albums Chart.[11]

Production

Chubby Checker appears on the Fat Boys' version of "The Twist".[1][12] "Are You Ready for Freddy" was among the many late-1980s rap songs about A Nightmare on Elm Street.[13] The album was produced by the Latin Rascals.[14]

Critical reception

The Orlando Sentinel wrote: "'Jellyroll' and 'Big Daddy' are two of the better raps. The former sings the praises of pastry (then again, maybe not) while 'Big Daddy' boasts a steady reggae beat and alternates between straight rapping and Jamaican- style toasting."[13] The Los Angeles Times called the album "highly enjoyable nonsense," writing that "you can knock the Fat Boys as lyricists—some of their songs are a bit too silly—but you can't rap their rhythms, which are among the catchiest in the genre."[5] The Philadelphia Inquirer thought that "the straightforward rap songs, such as 'Rock the House, Y'all' and the title song, are pretty good, but the novelty songs wear thin very quickly."[6]

AllMusic wrote that "the Fat Boys' strength remained novelty numbers and weight-based raps like 'Big Daddy' and 'Pig Feet'."[2]
