The group's members were called "insensitive" by the South Australian Tourism Commission for the album track, "There's no Town Like Snowtown", which refers to the infamous bodies-in-barrels murders and are associated with the South Australian town of that name.<ref name="Boyer">{{cite journal | url = http://www.punkglobe.com/frenzalrhomb.html | title = Frenzal Rhomb | last = Boyer | first = Blair | journal = Punk Globe Magazine | accessdate = 8 January 2018 }}</ref> Blair Boyer of ''Punk Globe Magazine'' described how, "This song and other irreverent offerings", appear on that album.<ref name="Boyer"/>

''dBMagazine''{{'}} s Simon Foster opined, "they've managed to round up a swag of witty/offensive (take your pick) tunes with some great names and lyrics, a bunch of obscure instruments (Appalachian Mountain Dulcimer anyone?), and chucked them all on the one album [...] Although having a bit of fun, the lads display a surprisingly high amount of musical ability and 'Love Songs...' is great for a laugh... just don't set your expectations too high."<ref name="Foster"/>
