AllMusic     [6]

The New York Times wrote that "Horvitz's pieces dip into blues and slide-guitar rock a la Little Feat, along with mock-minimalist repetition, tinges of gamelan or Latin or Japanese music, and whatever else pops into mind."[7]

The AllMusic review by Brian Olewnick stated: "Bring Yr Camera is an enjoyable disc and very much of its time, but one can't help but think of some degree of wasted potential".[6]
