Allmusic critic Mark Deming wrote "Considering the odds-and-ends nature of this album, it's a pleasant surprise that The Case Files is so consistently strong ... The Case Files proves this man's cast-offs make for a better album than most acts' level-best efforts".[1]

gollark: It's my scroll goals to have cool-looking things, and while I *kind of* like lots of them, I don't really bother to gather them.
gollark: I can do... precisely none of that, due to not actually having half those breeds as CBs.
gollark: I bet you can split the breeding across multiple people on here pretty well.
gollark: _also wants it now_
gollark: Well, this is very annoying. I think my sunrise/set is going to be at 4d juuuust outside of the time when it's allowed to hatch.
