wrote, "there's genuine songcraft to MGF and it's on display in ''Bring It On!'' more than anywhere else in their brief discography", and described the song "Unsent Letter" as "

Track listing
"Blacklamb" and "Horny Blonde Forty" were originally recorded as Limebunny (a pre-Machine Gun Fellatio band founded by Pinky Beecroft and Chit Chat von Loopin Stab) songs. The recordings of those songs on ''Bring It On!'' were taken from the compilation album ''Unsound Sounds'', released in 1997 (the same recording of "Blacklamb" also appears on MGF's debut EP ''Love Comes to an End'').
