ProductionEdit
The album was recorded as a trio, dubbed Juliana's Pony. Bass player Mikey Welsh co-wrote four songs.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Although inspired by Hatfield's months-long stay in Los Angeles, the album was made in Austin, Texas.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Critical receptionEdit
Exclaim! wrote that "this is Hatfield at her funniest and most bitter, heaping bile on boy toys ('Houseboy'), All About Eve ladder-climbers ('My Protegee'), teenage girls in SUVs ('Road Wrath') and overly fertile families ('Breeders')."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Trouser Press wrote: "It’s easily the weakest album in her career and sounds even worse when compared to the subtle path of Beautiful Creature, although there is something mortifyingly fascinating about the utterly disastrous tone in which Hatfield portrays her life and loves."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
