 The album earned Germano the most praise she'd yet received from the press, becoming a critical favorite – including being featured as the 84th best album of the 1990s by the music magazine "Spin".Most tracks on "Geek the Girl" were originally recorded at Lisa Germano's home, giving the album an intimate and demo-like feel.Initially, she played all of the instruments on the record, but she then chose to re-mix four of the tracks with the help of Malcolm Burn, and added Kenny Aronoff on drums.
