Critical reception

Exclaim! wrote: "Like many dusty blues punks before him it's the mantle of Dylan that Hall has chosen as armour, at least in terms of sound, though it's the sweetly poisoned inkwell of Jonathan Richman or Robyn Hitchcock from which his lyrics flow."[5] The Observer wrote that "Hall lets the sounds of his city seep into the recordings; the tracks sound simultaneously organic and artificially distressed."[6]
