Spin named the album one of "The 10 Best Albums You Didn't Hear in '96", writing that King Coffey mixes "snatches of sitar, Sadie, bird calls, the Boredoms, cockpit jabber, and himself goofing around on Middle Eastern stringed instruments."[5] The Dallas Observer listed the album as one of the 10 best Texas albums of 1996.[6]
