Owen Richardson from The Age caught their gig on 24 April 2006, he found, "[it] is just songs and jokes and hasn't the sublime, daggy silliness of their sci-fi musical Lady Robots, but it's all good stuff... [they] want us to know they care and are aware, but don't want to be seen to take themselves too seriously."[1]

Most songs from the final performance in the "Tripod Are: Self Saucing" series are included on the album. It was nominated for Best Comedy Release at the ARIA Music Awards of 2007 but lost to Dave Hughes' DVD 'Live'.[2]
