Reception

In the Irish Independent, Declan Lynch wrote "I don't regard the musings of O'Carroll-Kelly as being essentially humorous. I regard them as straight reportage, journalism of a very high order, which holds up a mirror to a way of life, a whole breed of men, most of whom will be avidly participating in the Rugby World Cup. I don't think that some of these guys are a bit like Ross some of the time, I think they're all a lot like Ross, all of the time."[5] Ferdia Mac Anna called The Teenage Dirtbag Years "engagingly subversive," while John Healy called it "Silly but fun."[6][7]
