Critical reception

Contributing to Magnet, Bar/None owner Glenn Morrow called the album "remarkably eclectic." He praised "Gabriel’s Mother’s Highway Ballad #16 Blues," writing that it "wraps around the listener like a sonic temple—a place of peace and well-being, bracing out the cold winds of a hostile world."
