Reviewer John Borack of Goldmine Magazine gave Kick Your Ass an "A" rating, calling the band "sort of a mini-supergroup" and describing the release as "a louder version of mid-‘70s Dave Edmunds all hopped up on stimulants."[1] In December 2014, Lord Rutledge at the FasterandLouder blog named Kick Your Ass his EP of the Year, stating, "there's not one hit here but rather three of them - each one taking inspiration from a different period of rock n' roll...[The New Trocaderos] do their heroes proud by crafting songs good enough to hold up in any era."[2] Van Zandt made the EP's track “Dream Girl” a Coolest Song in the World on January 4, 2015, premiering it on a show dedicated to The Beatles and in which he interviewed Paul McCartney.[4]
