Production edit

The album was produced by Ryan Greene.[8] It was recorded at Sundae Sound, in Calgary, where the band's new drummer, Dave Alcock, worked as an engineer.[9][10] Born on the First of July includes an unlisted cover version of Sylvia's "Nobody".[11]

The Deseret News wrote that "Ryan Greene's production ups the crunch quotient and downplays the melodic side, but it doesn't detract too much."[6] The Calgary Herald thought that there was "nothing fancy to this 13-track, 24-minute disc of rock for suburban punks."[13]

The Hamilton Spectator deemed the album "snappy, melodic two-minute pop songs [with] a '77-era punk rock attack."[16] The Windsor Star concluded that "Chixdiggit have produced a rollicking album that reflects the feeling of wild abandon they exude live."[17] Broken Pencil called Born on the First of July "hard-driving classic Canadian rawk of the highest order ... Speedy loud guitars, action-arm drumming and husky, beer-tempered vocals deliver songs on summer fun, young love, and the first pangs of disillusionment."[18]

AllMusic wrote: "They don't make pop-punk like this anymore. No emo overtones, no generic NOFX or Queers riffs to be found and no songs about crying over a girl who broke said person's heart."[12]
