Pitchfork
From its humble roots in the Bay Area punk scene to its massive hooks, Dookie has become one of the greatest teenage wasteland albums of any generation.

It forced the powers that be to once again pay attention to punk rock.

BBC
If you're looking for 40 minutes full of punk attitude, tunes and biting lyrics, you won't find much better than this.
-
All Music
The key to this is their flippant, infectious attitude -- something they maintain throughout the record, making Dookie a stellar piece of modern punk that many tried to emulate but nobody bettered.

Classic Rock Review
The end result is a highly influential and critically acclaimed album that echoed and cascaded through the decade of the nineties and launched a very successful career for Green Day that persists to this day.

Alt Scribe
An album chock full of great riffs and not lacking in catchiness or energy, plus, at times, good or even excellent lyrics.

Happy Katana
If you like fast-paced punk music, this is the album for you.

The band’s self-awareness and critical eye produced a killer album, and left the future wide open.

Chicago Tribune
The I'm-so-bored-with-the-U.S.A. lyrics are skateboarder generic, but the music is so good it hardly matters.
