The Dallas Observer wrote: "A seamless commentary on hypocrisy, spirituality, society, family, and individuality, Salivation is neither heavy nor light." [9] Style Weekly thought that Allen "mixes Texas folk and rock, Middle Eastern textures, hoe-down swing and plaintive ballads into a fine set of tunes for those looking for the left-of-center." [10]
The Independent noted that "to a tuba-bass cakewalk reminiscent of Ry Cooder, 'Southern Comfort' offers a reminder, Southern state by Southern state, of racist dues to be paid come Judgement Day." [11]
AllMusic wrote that "between note one and the dying echo, the record stomps, smokes, snorts, and acts generally loutish and obnoxious, which makes for a wonderfully entertaining experience." [6]
