Critical reception

No Depression wrote that the band "churns out a difficult-to-pigeonhole sound that variously recalls early R.E.M., the first couple of Jayhawks records and the desolate edge of Neil Young’s more brooding efforts with Crazy Horse."^[5] The Associated Press called the album "excellent," writing that Farmer Not So John is "one of those impossible-to-classify bands, the kind that the small minds of so many radio programmers cannot make room for and therefore cannot add to their play lists, which is a real shame."^[6]
