In his review for AllMusic, music critic Richie Unterberger wrote "Tim Hardin 2 is probably his best single album, on which he eschewed blues nearly entirely and forged a distinctive folk-rock voice..." [2]

It was voted number 430 in the third edition of Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums (2000). [4]
