Critical reception
Template:Album reviews Trouser Press wrote: "Some now-tired Blondie-isms remain, but this fine sophomore effort is mostly a forward-looking, groove-heavy delight."[6] The Tampa Bay Times deemed Crawdaddy "full of swirly, danceable melodies and infectious drumbeats."[7] The Record labeled Crawdaddy "an enticing mix of melodic pop enhanced with a hint of hard-driving guitar rock."[8]
Spin called the album "guitar-driven girl pop at its very finest."[9] The Boston Globe considered it "a terse pop-punk manifesto that conveys love's conflicting impulses in an ingratiating, semi-complex, pop context."[10] The Los Angeles Times wrote that the Darling Buds "thicken the pop with dense, twisted textures, lending [the album] an off-center quality."[11]
