==Critical reception==
''[Trouser Press](/source/Trouser_Press)'' wrote that "quibbles about the occasionally melodramatic lyrics, in which the passage into adulthood dissolves into tragedy, are obliterated by the ferocious attack."<ref name="TP">{{cite web |title=Pegboy |url=https://trouserpress.com/reviews/pegboy/ |website=Trouser Press |access-date=15 December 2020}}</ref>

In a retrospective review, ''[The A.V. Club](/source/The_A.V._Club)'' wrote: "Skirting grunge, pop-punk, post-hardcore, and emo—all of which were erupting at the time—''Strong Reaction'' has aged with a rugged grace that puts most of its contemporaries to shame."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.avclub.com/pegboy-strong-reaction-1798212314|title=Pegboy: Strong Reaction|website=Music}}</ref>
