Critical reception

AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars (out of 5), with reviewer Bill Dahl calling it "a far weaker outing than what came before, largely due to a plodding band unwisely inserted behind Hawkins that tends to distract rather than enhance his impassioned vocals and rich acoustic guitar strumming." [3] The Los Angeles Times called The Next Hundred Years "an album of strange and wonderful beauty." [2]
