self-titled release for the band. The original Volcom reissue credited the band as "Camp", with the album released under the name CKY, before the names were reversed on later editions. The album later took on its final name, Volume 1, once released by Island in 2001. The original album cover featured a painting depicting the infamous public suicide of politician R. Budd Dwyer in 1987. The artwork, produced by Rob Erickson, was later changed when CKY signed with Volcom, as they deemed it too offensive. For Volcom's reissues and most future releases, the cover was changed to artwork featuring a photo of Ginsburg performing on the 1999 Warped Tour. This cover photo was taken by Remy Stratton. Reception Media response to Volume 1 was mixed to positive. Writing for the website AllMusic, critic Bret Love criticised the album for its variety of musical styles, describing it as "unfortunately ... all over the musical map". Despite describing the release as "just a mix of moshpit-friendly skatepunk pap", he awarded Volume 1 three out of five stars. Slant magazine's Aaron Scott was more positive, praising the vocal and guitar performances on the album, which he described as "more entertaining (and refreshing) than the misogyny that has plagued hard rock of late". Scott went on to note that the band's sound was "not revolutionary", but found value in their individuality. Ultimate Guitar Archive awarded the album a "superb" rating of 9.2 out of 10. According to Deron Miller, as of August 2015 the album had sold over 222,000 copies, making it the second best-selling CKY release behind Infiltrate•Destroy•Rebuild.
