In his Allmusic review, music critic James Christopher Monger praised the album and wrote "the most alluring piece appears at the end of Stolen Moments; the self-penned mandolin, conga, and banjo-driven "Musette for a Palindrome" is so unlike anything else on the record that one can only hope that it's merely a teaser for the next. More like this please." [1]
Writing for No Depression , Robert L. Doerschuk compared Brown to Béla Fleck, summarizing the album as "one more step toward enlightenment, so that even the dimmest bulbs can understand why Brown’s similarities to Fleck — mainly, jaw-dropping virtuosity — are ultimately beside the point..." and referred to Brown's aesthetic: "simple, eloquent, and fully original."
