==Critical reception==
Stewart Mason of [[AllMusic]] called the album "one of the odder entries in the Queers' extensive catalog," stating that it is "much darker and less overtly funny album than almost anything the band has ever done."<ref name="auto"/> ''[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]'' writer Michael Sandlin criticized the juvenile quality of the songs, but conceded that they are "more cute and melodic than you might expect" and have "some tasty, ass-kicking lead guitar parts . . . the kind that are quickly becoming extinct in modern rock."<ref name="PFORK">{{Cite web |last=Sandlin |first=Michael |date= |title=Queers: Beyond the Valley...: Pitchfork Review |url=http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/q/queers/beyond-the-valley.shtml |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000816184729/http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/q/queers/beyond-the-valley.shtml |archive-date=2000-08-16 |access-date=2024-04-06 |website=[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]}}</ref> ''[[The Washington Post]]'' wrote: "If attacking a 'punk rock snob' in 'Babyface (Boo-Hoo-Hoo)' is fair comment, many of these tracks traffic in misogyny, homophobia and second-rate hooks. The Queers can still bash out a two-minute rocker with vigor, but this album's attitude is tired."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/2000/08/18/the-queers-beyond-the-valley-hopeless/58c1fd49-7f61-4ecd-adc9-3ee38f49264c/|title=THE QUEERS|first=Mark|last=Jenkins|date=August 18, 2000|via=www.washingtonpost.com}}</ref>
