Milo Goes to College is often cited as one of the most significant albums of the southern California hardcore punk movement during the early 1980s. In his book American Hardcore: A Tribal History, author Steven Blush remarked that its "cheeky love songs disguised as [hardcore] blasts became the most aped formula in rock."[1] Ned Raggett of Allmusic gave the album four and a half stars out of five, calling it "an unpretentious, catchy winner. The playing of the core band is even better than before, never mistaking increased skill with needing to show off; the Lombardo/Stevenson rhythm section is in perfect sync, while Navetta provides the corrosive power. Add in Aukerman's in-your-face hilarity and f*ck-off stance, and it's punk rock that wears both its adolescence and brains on its sleeve."[6] Jenny Eliscu of Rolling Stone called the album "all straight-ahead punk -- 15 songs in less than a half hour, each full of metally riffs and lightning-speed plucking by bassist Tony Lombardo, who was always the band's secret weapon. Much like the Who, Descendents often used the bass for melodies and the guitar to bash out a steady rhythm. 'Parents' shows a British punk influence, with Auckerman spitting the complaint: 'They don't even know I'm a boy/They treat me like a toy, but little do they know that one day I'll explode.'"[7]
Milo Goes to College has been included in several lists of noteworthy punk albums. Spin has listed it several times, ranking it #74 in a 1995 list of the best alternative albums and #20 in a 2001 list of "The 50 Most Essential Punk Records", and including it in a 2004 list of "Essential Hardcore" albums.[8][9][10] In these lists, critic Simon Reynolds described the album as "Fifteen Cali-coreparoxysms that anatomize dork-dude pangs with haiku brevity", while Andrew Beaujon called it "Super clean, super tight, super poppy hardcore about hating your parents, riding bikes, and not wanting to 'smell your muff.' Obviously, Blink-182 owe this bunch of proud California losers everything."[9][10] In 2006 Kerrang! ranked it as the 33rd greatest punk album of all time.[11]
