Reviews

The album was reviewed by Stephen Haag of popmatters.com, who concluded "All-at-once reverent, revisionist, greasy, and fun as hell, with summer upon us Cockadoodledon’t should be the soundtrack to a thousand barbecues.". Bob Gendron writing for AVguide stated "A mind-blowing assault on bluegrass rhythms, cowboy country, roadhouse blues, and sweaty rock and roll fury, Cockadoodledon’t makes Reverend Horton Heat sound like The Eagles.".

And Hal Horowitz, writing for Allmusic, said "The music is fun, frantic, and nerve-wracking."
