Writing for AllMusic, Janna Pendragon stated: "A Renaissance man, Dave Alvin continues to make and record music of integrity." [1] Music critic Robert Christgau wrote: "...making the personal historical is still his metier—the border patrolman of 'California Snow', the Vietnam casualty of '1968'. He also knows how to make rootlessness historical. But I say he just likes the road." [2]
