Critical reception
Magnet called Correct Slogans "a mostly acoustic album of strange, politically charged pieces that sometimes border on opera."{{Cite web|url=http://magnetmagazine.com/2006/06/02/the-red-krayola-outside-the-lines/|title=The Red Krayola: Outside The Lines|first=Eric T.|last=Miller|date=June 2, 2006}} 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."{{Cite web|url=https://www.dallasobserver.com/music/thompsons-twins-6397688|title=Thompson's twins|date=June 17, 1999|website=Dallas Observer}}
