This single went on to be nominated for the Kerrang! award for best single{{cite web |url=http://news.softpedia.com/news/Green-Day-And-System-Of-A-Down-Tops-The-Kerrang-Awards-2005-Nominations-6167.shtml |title=Green Day and System of a Down Tops the Kerrang!

The album opener and second single "Helena" has been referred to as an "album-highlight and smash-hit". Gerard has claimed that the song "shaped what the album is about" and "revealed their dark side" in comparison to the first single. Its lyrics mourn the loss of Gerard and Mikey's grandmother, Elena Lee Rush, and was their first entry into the top 40.

According to Way, the album can be understood as a "pseudo-conceptual horror story", that details:

...the story of a man and a woman who are separated by death in a gunfight and he goes to hell only to realize by the devil telling him that she's still alive. The devil says he can be with her again if he brings the devil the souls of a thousand evil men and the man agrees to do it, and so the devil hands him a gun. That was the idea behind the concept, the record ended up being much more about loss and real life than anything, so I would say it's a good split.{{cite web|title=THREE CHEERS FOR SWEET REVENGE|url=http://drinkingsouls.com/music/three-cheers-for-sweet-revenge/|website=Drinking Souls|archive-date=February 18, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150218211114/https://drinkingsouls.com/music/three-cheers-for-sweet-revenge/}}

{{Quote box

| quote = They looked the part of the “eyeliner emo” era, and the imagery in Gerard’s lyrics was as brooding and melodramatic as their music videos, but Three Cheers didn’t fetishize self-harm or direct ire at unnamed women. [...] Gerard often twisted his emo melodrama to specifically buck against those trends. Throughout the theatrical concept album, Gerard looks at addiction, mental health, gender, death, and toxic relationships with a wisdom that the “mall emo” era often lacked. It’s a big part of why the band kept winning over new generations of fans after breaking up, and were met with such a warm welcome when they finally reunited. For a band that seemed so of their time, My Chemical Romance were always subtly ahead of it.
