The album won the 1993 Juno Award for Best Rock Album Of The Year. At the 1992 MuchMusic Video Awards, the "Helluvatime" video won the People's Choice Award for Best Video of the Year and Best Metal Video Award.
"20+ years later, Doin’ The Nasty is an album that is still a f*cking blast to listen to," emphatically states Bad Repuation. "The production is perfect, the band plays absolutely amazing, and the songs are so well thought out, well written, and perfectly executed. Slik Toxik is a band that may have never rose above the horizon to make their presence known, but Doin’ The Nasty serves as a reminder that some of the greatest albums ever made are the ones you never even knew existed."
