It features guest appearances from Anthony Hamilton, Aya, Daniel Merriweather, Debi Nova, Freeway, Ghostface Killah, M.O.P., Mos Def, Nappy Roots, Nate Dogg, Nikka Costa, Q-Tip, Rhymefest, Rivers Cuomo, Saigon, Sean Paul, Trife Diesel and Tweet, and contributions from Printz Board, Questlove, Billy Chang and Guyora Kats.

The song "International Affair" was originally released on Sean Paul's 2002 album Dutty Rock, and featured vocals from Debi Nova instead of Tweet.

Dorian Lynskey of The Guardian praised the album, stating: "the whole caboodle is informed by the freewheeling, celebratory spirit of late 80s hip-hop, and adds up to one of 2003's most irresistible party records".

[4] In mixed reviews, AllMusic's Matt Collar found the album "does ... resonate with the pulse of youthful ego driven by libido and hot wax".

[2] Matt Diehl of Rolling Stone wrote: "Ronson's first album as an artist, Here Comes the Fuzz, may stop the ill will: with guests such as Sean Paul, Q-Tip and Ghostface Killah alongside rock guys such as Rivers Cuomo and Jack White of the White Stripes, Ronson serves up a grab bag of pumping beats - and plays almost all of the instruments on the album".
