Critical reception[edit]

In a review for Pitchfork, critic reviewer Brian Howe wrote: "One can't accuse Beep Beep of being lackluster or uninspired. Business Casual is fierce and competent, and evinces the rippling of powerful musical muscles. But its affectations are so grating that it's tough to make it through it all in a single listen."[1]
