Music and Lyrics

Bradley Torreano, writing for Allmusic, described that with this album, Ozma has "arguably written the best Weezer album of 2001 (and yes, the real thing also had an album come out the same year)."[4]

In an "Ask Me Anything" interview on the website Reddit, Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo recommended Rock and Roll Part Three in response to what two albums every Weezer fan should listen to (the other album being Pet Sounds). [5]
