Critical reception

Texas Monthly wrote that the band's "indie-rock allegiances remain strong enough that many songs here are actually oblique, bittersweet meditations on the mythology of those allegiances."[5] NME called the album "yet more rough-hewn genius-in-the-making from the same American heartlands that threw up the likes of The Flaming Lips and Uncle Tupelo." The Chicago Tribune called it "brilliantly raw," writing: "Here is a group of musicians whose talent and experience pulls them toward perfection, though they'll happily sacrifice technical recording quality for musical quantity."[6] MTV wrote that "the sonic mudbath, along with Centro-matic's deliberate bush-league musicianship, exquisitely compliments [Will] Johnson's songs, a twangy mix of Crazy Horse raunch and sweet acoustic balladeering."[7]
