All Music Guide
More often than not, though, Flashy is lots of cleverly dumb fun.

Spin
Much of the record satirizes plastic surgery and oversexed macho men, but despite the ironic humor, there’s a compassion in the music that’s unexpected coming from a band best known for a Taco Bell–referencing novelty hit.

Blender
Reborn, the track leads off the sardonic sextet’s fifth album of apocalyptic buffoonery shot through with metal, new wave and disco, all of it hilarious, none of it a joke.

Village Voice
The world only needed one Electric Six album, but for a few understated moments, this one makes the case for a second.

The Onion (A.V. Club)
Flashy, the Detroit band's fifth full-length, still executes garage-glam with senses fully heightened, but it seems totally uninterested in doing anything new.
