The album is the third and last by the band to be produced by Joey Sturgis who has previously worked with such bands as The Devil Wears Prada, Emmure, We Came as Romans, Asking Alexandria, and Miss May I, and also with their frontman's, Chris Fronzak, on his first solo album, Party People's Anthem,[1] the next year.

James Christopher Monger of AllMusic stated that "longtime fans...will find much to love/hate here...[and] what the album lacks in diversity it more than makes up for in sheer volume.

"[9] According to Kill Your Stereo, the "record’s ‘guilty pleasure’ condition is only applicable to those who can stomach this level of crude immaturity.

"[10] Luke Morton of Metal Hammer criticized the album's lyrics, stating, "Consistent, gratuitous swearing and screaming about “bitches” sucking ol’ Fronzie’s dick fails to be either offensive or funny – instead, it simply smacks of playground teasing and name-calling.

"[12] Guilty Pleasure marked the biggest sales week for Attila in their career, selling over 18,500 copies.
