The band's formal debut ended up tagged to the CD version of Kerplunk -- an odd move, not merely because it was three years older than that album, but featured a completely different drummer, Al Sobrante. On its own, Sweet Children (also a name of a song on the release and the band's original moniker) is pretty much what all other early Green Day was like -- catchy, fun, but generally unremarkable beyond that. It's also the most obviously low-budget recording of the band's career; even the Slappy and 1000 Hours EPs sound much more full bodied than the hollow-sounding drums and flat levels here. The three originals are fair enough for what they are, Armstrong's voice and general approach already recognizable, but that's about it. The ringer is the concluding cover of the Who's "My Generation," with an amusing twist via the mini solos. ~ Ned Raggett, All Music Guide
