Reception
editIn anticipation of Vanderslice's fourth album Cellar Door, CMJ New Music Monthly's Louis Miller described the album as "a perfectly disjointed pop album."[5] Exclaim! wrote that "Vanderslice uses a mix of traditional rock instrumentation spiced with the occasional strings to bring his pop visions to life."[6]
