Critical reception

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch called the album "a muddy, perilous trek through a swamp of towering power chords, tangled acoustic guitars and slithering bass lines." [6] The Austin American-Statesman praised the "unique slide-guitar techniques and clever, moody songs." [7] The Chicago Tribune noted the "chamber-rock mystical" qualities of the album, as well as "the friends-in-a-room vibe." [8] The Philadelphia Inquirer deemed it "a mix of subtly charged blues and all-out garage rock." [9]
