"Tearing by at a breakneck speed, I Should Coco is a spectacularly eclectic debut by Supergrass, a trio barely out of their teens. Sure, the unbridled energy of the album illustrates that the band is young, yet what really illustrates how young the bandmembers are is how they borrow from their predecessors. Supergrass treat the Buzzcocks, the Beatles, Elton John, David Bowie, Blur, and Madness as if they were all the same thing - they don't make any distinction between what is cool and what isn't, they just throw everything together.
Consequently, the jittery 'Caught by the Fuzz' slams next to the music hall rave-up 'Mansize Rooster,' the trippy psychedelia of 'Sofa (Of My Lethargy),' the heavy stomp of 'Lenny,' and the bona fide teen anthem 'Alright.' I Should Coco is the sound of adolescence, but performed with a surprising musical versatility that makes the record's exuberant energy all the more infectious." -Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AllMusic.com, 5/5 stars
