It was the band's only album released through Atlantic Records, after signing to the label in 1994.[1][2]

Critical reception
Gato Negro received mixed reviews from critics. Eric Bensel of Alternative Press wrote that while the album was "at times a generic grunge [sic] fronted by the predictable riot grrrl snarl", it provided a "refreshing foil to the testosterone-laden cock-rock that has dominated AOR radio stations for the past 25 years".[4] Entertainment Weekly critic Mike Flatherty dismissed the album as "a humorless clutch of tough-grrrl conventions and abrasive bluster".[5] In her review of Live at Moe (2016), PitchforkTemplate:'s Estelle Tang called Gato Negro "simultaneously less scrappy and less compelling" than the band's previous albums.[6] In a positive review for Trouser Press, Grant Alden called the album 7 Year Bitch's "most varied, accomplished and coherent outing", praising its instrumentation.[7]
