"Puts me in mind of all those great, underrated all-American garage-punk bands of the 1960s ... just listen to Come On or Turn It On and tell me that they couldn't pass muster on any of the Nuggets collections. Listen to Green Apple and tell me it isn't a local classic nearly on a par with Prettiest Girl. ... This may be one of the best albums of the year."(the noise)

"Total Action is the kind of pop record they just don't make anymore; full of fresh sounds and great hooks ... a lot of vital three-chord stomp ... Call it garage rock if you must; but Sue's vocals leave no doubt that garage is in a pretty exotic neighborhood." (brett milano, author, sound of our town)

"The camaraderie between Sue and Steve is obvious, and they play off each other well. The songs are spirited, and well written with sharp melody lines and biting lyrics..." (ffanzeen)

"...The songwriting is strong and earnest, the sound is remarkably full for a band without a bass player, and, overall, they make me want to dance...." (the noise)

"...They play driving garage rock; few chords, easy melodies, and interesting stops thrown in to keep listeners on their toes..." (the noise)

"Best Boston debut in a long time--in many ways evokes the golden age of classic co-ed indie rock bands: Love Child, Yo La Tengo, Eric's Trip, etc--the boy sings a song, the girl sings the next one, and they always sing together. It's the pinnacle of rock band equality..." (kapital ink)

"...What comes out sounds at times like a hybrid of X and the Patti Smith Group, which isn't surprising as the band has been known to while away the late night hours with records by those same artists, as well as in dreams of Grant Hart, Mia Zapata, Nico, and escaping once and for all the dusty doldrums of the Avalon Motel." (pop culture press)

"My Own Worst Enemy is a Boston trio that loathes pretension. There's no wandering experimentation on these tracks, no demanding political views. Just raw, punk-fueled, high-energy rock with great hooks and excellent musicianship. It feels basic and solid, wild and fun. The perfect music to shake off life's complications to and just flat-out enjoy...Sue, who sings lead on most of these tracks, has a gritty Patti Smith edge to her voice...Not a single filler track on this CD. Very impressive work." (indie-music.com)

"Sue ends the set by singing her venomous and brilliant ode to Courtney Love, 'Cry For Frances,' with the refrain I Hate You, with such passion that many in the crowd respond with, 'We hate you too!'...It's always worth making it out to see this band." (the noise)

"'Poison' is without a doubt my favourite track on the album. The music has a dark, sinister atmosphere to it that works perfectly with Sue's smoky, hazy voice delivering the disturbing lyrics. You have to listen to this song!...No Guarantees has a little something for everyone, and the use of two main vocalists is effective in creating an appealing male/female dynamic. This album is poignant, passionate and powerful." (rock pulse.co.uk)

"Too often, between a first demo, a first EP, and a first full-length release, some intangible quality which helps to make a band great gets lost or misplaced in the mix. This happened to the Throwing Muses and the Pixies. My Own Worst Enemy, on the other hand, has made the same transition with grace and aplomb...belongs on every college radio station playlist in the Western world." (the noise)

"If you like honest, guts-on-the-table rock devoid of trickery and preciousness, then My Own Worst Enemy is the band for you. This is the kind of CD you'd expect to hear blasting from behind the counter of your favorite indie record store." (the noise)

"What a set of pipes! [Sue's] voice is powerful, emotive and intense...She's got incredible power and presence, best showcased on the dark and thrilling 'Poison.' Another showcase is 'Late Show.' With its simple musical arrangement, it highlights her voice, showing off its depth." (southofmainstream.com)

"The jangly and harsh 'Cry For Frances' deserves to be singled out - it's a classic right up there with 'The Boy With Perpetual Nervousness' by The Feelies, or 'Hate My Way' by Throwing Muses...We've listened to it a couple dozen times, and each go-round reveals new chunks of vituperation, presumably directed against Courtney Love...Equally wonderful is 'Paint the Town' - the faux naif primitivism of Beat Happening meets the earnest lyricism of Jules Shear circa 'Shadows Break'..."
