AllMusic	[5]
Spin Alternative Record Guide	7/10[6]

Magnet called Correct Slogans "a mostly acoustic album of strange, politically charged pieces that sometimes border on opera."^[7] The Dallas Observer wrote that the album matches "skeletal backing by Thompson and 16-year-old drummer Jesse Chamberlain ... with Art & Language's dry, unsingerly voices and their intentionally antilyrical lumps of Marxist art theory."^[8]
