reception

According to Andy Hinds of Allmusic , A Comprehensive Guide to Modern Rebellion is Southern California hardcore for “the thinking punk ”. The music would still be good enough for those who don't read the lyrics. For Hanno Kress from the German magazine Rock Hard , the album is more fun than the Gidget EP, "because it has a little more to do with the originality of American punk". Kress gave the album eight out of ten points.
