Critical reception

{{Album reviews
|rev1= AllMusic
|rev1score= {{Rating|4.5|5}}^[1]
}}AllMusic's review was highly favourable, writing, "The tracks [...] are all highly original and have little precedent either in or beyond the annals of British pop/rock [...] We Buy a Hammer for Daddy belongs with Alternative TV's Vibing Up the Senile Man and the first This Heat LP as one of the milestones of experimental rock music."^[2]
