McLeod rated it 4 stars out of 5 and wrote that it was "good for completists, but maddening to listen to because the recording and songwriting quality veers all over the place." Reissue In 2006 the Queers followed several other former Lookout! artists in rescinding their master tapes and licensing rights from the label, invoking a clause in their contract citing delinquent royalty payments. They signed to Asian Man Records, who reissued all of the band's Lookout! albums in 2007. For its reissue, A Day Late and a Dollar Short was remastered by recording engineer Mass Giorgini, who had worked with the Queers in a studio capacity since 1992. The album was given a new cover and artwork, and new liner notes written by Queer, Rutherford, and Tulu reflecting on the band's early years.
