Reception
- "With Suck this Live, the production is a lot tighter, the lineup features Danny Panic and Danny Vapid from Screeching Weasel fame and the songs blast from one track to the next without a breather (excluding "Beer Break," which only lasts for a few seconds anyway). This is the definitive Queers live album that does them justice. And there's not one song that features anything prior to Love Songs for the Retarded album, which is a good thing. " (Mike DaRonco, Allmusic)
- "Suck This (was) recorded before a small crowd in a South Carolina studio. (It) captures the breathless rush of a Queers set with enthusiastic abandon. (It) features Vapid and Panic from Screeching Weasel in the lineup."
