Spin Alternative Record Guide7/10

Magnet called Correct Slogans "a mostly acoustic album of strange, politically charged pieces that sometimes border on opera." The Dallas Observer wrote that the album matches "skeletal backing by Thompson and 16-year-old drummer Jesse Chamberlain ... with Art & Language's dry, unsingerly voices and their intentionally antilyrical lumps of Marxist art theory."
