Critical reception
[edit | edit source]The Quietus wrote that "Music To Strip By [is] a rag bag of musical influences tied to tall tales with a verisimilitude to Jad's own beguiling, charmed life."[8] The Spin Alternative Record Guide singled out the cover of Fats Domino's "Blue Monday" for praise.[5]
