Excerpt of review by Aaron Poehler:

"Des Moines, Iowa's Squidboy whip up an indie-rock guitar stew that recalls Dinosaur Jr. and Soul Asylum as much as more punk and hardcore influences; imagine taking the two bands named above, stripping out the mainstream elements and upping the tempo a few notches and you'll be pretty close to the Squidboy sound as presented on Iliteratti."
- Allied Recordings No. 74CD (Fall 96)

Excerpt of review from Spank:

"The rhythm section (drummer Craig Jensen, bassist Jeff Morgan) performs seamless transitions from song to song; moves that are a perfect match for the advanced and intense guitar navigation manned by Tim Beachy and vocalist Eric Kennedy. With a sinister title and a landslide wall of sound, this debut is a resonating rollick with hellish promise." - MD
