[2][3] "The Truth" includes the line "Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes/Are you ready?/Here comes the lawsuit, baby", followed by Alexander covering the refrain of "Slow Ride" by Foghat.

In the leadup to the album's release in May 1992, personal ads were placed in the LA Weekly that simply read "INTOXIFORNICATION".

[4][5] In a contemporaneous review, David Barton of The Sacramento Bee compared the sound of Intoxifornication to a hybrid of Prince and Bryan Adams, calling it "sexy, funny, catchy and musically challenging without being obscure... Intoxifornication not only announces a talent to watch, but one to get into right now".

[6] Brenda Herrmann of the Chicago Tribune also compared Alexander to Prince "with a twist of Beverly Hills 90210", praising Alexander's "musky, moany voice... gorgeous face, guitar and songs filled with sexual by-plays... made for radio and pretty kind on the ear, if not revolutionary".

[7] A later negative take came from William Ruhlmann of AllMusic, who called the album "overwrought hard guitar rock of no distinction".
