The album's UK release and subsequent 2006 North American repressing include a cover of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" as a bonus track.

"[2] Hardy said in an interview that the clip at the beginning of the track is her imitating the sound of the shoryuken special move from the Street Fighter series of arcade games.

"[4] The Independent's Luiza Sauman awarded the album four out of five stars, describing it as a "heavenly, potty-mouthed mixture of My Bloody Valentine, Nirvana, and The Breeders...  some songs you can give or take, but their promise always shines through.

"[7] A review published in The Daily Telegraph likened the album to the works of PJ Harvey, adding: "Giant Drag, shockingly but mainly pleasingly, are not just another pair of too-cool-for-school LA rock kids.

"[8] David Smyth of the Evening Standard gave the album a middling review, awarding it three out of five stars, noting that "Hardy has a way with an effects pedal and a wicked tongue...  tracks such as "My Dick Sux" continue to give a false impression of the beauty within, although the exquisite "This Isn't It" suggests that when Hardy grows up she might write something really special.
