Christgau's Record Guide | A−[2] |
Writing for Allmusic, critic Brett Hartenbach called Smither "a great writer who knows when to look elsewhere for material, a masterful guitarist who understands simplicity and a powerful singer with restraint.": and wrote of the album "while the bulk of Smither's material has a ruminative, melancholic tone, don't expect typical singer/songwriter fare."[1] Village Voice critic Robert Christgau also praised the album, writing "Smither writes tough-minded yet numinous post-folk songs that do justice to his adventurous taste in other people's... A smart record."[2]
