Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote that "Pop Heiress is the Kittens’ finest album, thanks to a combination of strong hooks, masterful production (by John Agnello) and the confidence that goes with such assets."{{Cite web|url=https://trouserpress.com/reviews/chainsaw-kittens/|title=Chainsaw Kittens}} The Washington Post stated: "From the delirious drama of 'Dive Into the Sea' to the T. Rexy shuffle of 'I Ride Free' to the punky attack of 'Sore on the Floor' and 'Burn You Down,' this is the Kittens' most consistent outing."{{Cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1994/07/08/consistent-kittens-and-fresh-figgs/5d412333-4eb1-41bc-b82d-88791cf18f79/|title=CONSISTENT KITTENS AND FRESH FIGGS|first=Mark|last=Jenkins|date=July 8, 1994|via=www.washingtonpost.com}}
