Blabbermouth said in a review of the album that Dog Fashion Disco "is genre-less and proud of it" and that it continued to showcase the band's distinctive "blend of strangely accessible hard rock, metal, punk, jazz [and] ska".

The music on the Adultery is still credited to every member of the band, as each member had their own input, specifically Matt Rippetoe, whose name is listed on the album cover with the rest of the band.

Todd explains this as making up for leaving him off of the credits of their last album, Committed to a Bright Future.

Keyboardist Jeff Siegel was absent from this tour; instead, his position was filled by Tim Swanson.

For the band's 2011 reunion shows, the album was released on vinyl by Rotten Records.
