Critical reception
John Perry from NME wrote that the album "is damn near the greatest fancy dress-party album... ever. It's a brilliant collection of uplifting smiley grooves [...] Drive Thru Booty is simply pure glittery pop, as smooth and shiny as Kojak in a pink turtleneck."[3] Dan Glaister from The Guardian deemed it "wonderful, funky, drive-by, bubblegum pop."[6] Jordan Paramor from Smash Hits named it Best New Album, saying, "This is the kind of music that has people in clubs sticking their bums in the air as their flares swing and their fingers point to the ceiling — but by golly it's great!" She highlighted tracks like "Big Time" and "Running Away".[5]
