Rolling Stone deemed the album "nervously sweet hearth rock with strong madcap echoes of Syd Barrett." [6] A later review in Rolling Stone, by Mark Kemp, wrote that "if you can take the occasional overpowering distortion, the emotional rewards are devastating." [5] The New York Times called it "a benchmark of the [home recording] genre." [7]
