Critical reception
The Dallas Observer called Coast to Coast Motel "almost completely stripped of the hip-hop that so pleasantly tempered the straightforward blues of the first album."[2] Trouser Press wrote that the group "establishes an easy mastery of understated rhythm and harmonic economy."[1] SF Weekly called it "steeped in the feel-good blues vibe of the G. Love live experience."[3]
