Stereo Review wrote that the album "finds Verlaine exploring new avenues of expression on the guitar, applying a thinking postmodern rocker's minimalism, a jazzman's improvisational skill, and a vintage Fifties guitarist's predilection for reverb and twang." [14] The Vancouver Sun opined that it "never really takes off; there are a couple of nice moody bits." [13]
The Washington Post considered "much of it [to be] cool, spare neo-rockabilly with a Henry Mancini twist." [15] The Calgary Herald noted that the guitar can sound "like Ry Cooder meets Angelo Badalamenti in a garage just off New York`s Central Park." [11] The Houston Chronicle called Warm and Cool "maybe the first urban New Age album." [16]
All songs written by Tom Verlaine.
