AllMusic

In a retrospective review for AllMusic, critic Stewart Mason called the album, "a terribly satisfying record that was all but ignored at the time of its release but sounds absolutely prescient in hindsight."[1]

American band the Mountain Goats listed the album in their feature "Ten Records That Render Life Bearable" for Pitchfork, calling it the "best album ever".[2]
