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]
