Reception

Fred Thomas from AllMusic praised the album, saying "PG-13, is an apt reflection of his macabre personality, blending club pop beats with tongue-in-cheek takes on horror movie topics, often blurring the lines between terror and sexuality. Highlights of the album include the energetic 'This Club Is a Haunted House', featuring a cameo by RuPaul, and 'I Wish I Were Amanda Lepore', featuring none other than Amanda Lepore."[6] PG-13 debuted at number 186 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 3,000 copies in its first week.[7]
