Writing for Allmusic, music critic Janna Pendragon wrote of the album "A Renaissance man, Dave Alvin continues to make and record music of integrity."[1] Music critic Robert Christgau wrote "...making the personal historical is still his metier—the border patrolman of "California Snow," the Vietnam casualty of "1968." He also knows how to make rootlessness historical. But I say he just likes the road."[2]
