Critical reception

On Pitchfork Jonathan Willinger said, "There have been previous stints where Weir assumed center stage, rather than looking for someone to fill the space left by Garcia, but Wolf Bros have lasted long enough to establish its own rugged and spacious approach to the music. It feels like a tacit acknowledgement of the need to move on, implying that if Weir is to fully embody the legacy he helped build, part of that is finding other ways to live inside it." [5]

In Glide Magazine Dave Goodwich wrote, "Wolf Bros have gone on to perform nearly eighty shows and have seen their catalog rapidly grow as they continually find ways to reinvent the timeless material of the Grateful Dead in a unique stripped-down fashion that offers up a welcome counterpoint to the bells and whistles that accompany Weir's main project, Dead & Company.... While their laid back style may not be for everyone, Wolf Bros has already proven to be a formidable addition to the Grateful Dead family." [6]
