Critical reception

Tucson Weekly called the album "phenomenal," writing that "Run On delivers avant-garde pop of a ... dark sensibility with a sophisticated, technically educated and carefully orchestrated approach."[7] The Austin Chronicle praised the "lo-fi production, mudfuzz guitar with tom-tom driven Delta rhythms, graveyard violin, and Sue Garner's dusty-road clarion call (hubby Rick Brown and guitarist Alan Licht also sing), all wrapped around hooky pop songs."[4]

Guitar Player wrote that Alan Licht surrounds Garner's vocals "with ominous clouds of droning feedback, supporting the song's melodic flow for two or three verses before unleashing a short, furious storm of groans, squeals and rapid-fire hammer-ons."[8] The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette wrote that the "nine originals [span] the indie-pop spectrum from the impossibly quirky 'As Good As New' to the heartbreaking violin-fueled lament, 'Anything You Say'."[9]
