Reception

Double J said "Jebediah's long-awaited sixth album Oiks does not sound like the Jebediah of old" calling it "an album that covers a broad sonic gamut without ever feeling disjointed.". The review concluded with "Oiks proves that, almost 30 years into their career, Jebediah are untethered to their legacy. They're making the music that speaks to who they are now, thankfully that hasn't meant sacrificing quality.

Jeff Jenkins from Stack Magazine called the album "the band's most musically adventurous offering so far" ad called out the "range on display" through "Bad for You", "Rubberman" and "Aqua - Lung".

Greg Phillips from Australian Musician said "Oiks ultimately showcasing the band's enduring creativity while never losing sight of their influential indie and alternative rock roots."

Tone Jam said "Overall, Oiks is a strong return for Jebediah, showcasing their ability to evolve and grow while staying true to their roots. Fans of the band's earlier work will find much to love on this album, while newcomers will be drawn in by its infectious energy and emotional depth. Highly recommended for fans of Australian rock music."
