Music critic Mark Deming of Allmusic praised the album and wrote "Tooth of Crime is a smart, absorbing, and beautifully disquieting collection of songs that could have come from no one else but T Bone Burnett, and it shows that one of America's best songwriters may be working at a very deliberate pace but he still has some remarkable things left to tell us."[1]

Production

gollark: Not each individual bird, only swarms.
gollark: Yes, the B. I. R. D.s' artificially intelligent distributed control system decided to try and damage humanity, so they used their 5G radiation generators to affect the virus.
gollark: Coronavirus caused birds. It was designed to alter people's memories so they remember B. I. R. D. surveillance drones as if they were real animals, but mutated and became dangerous.
gollark: Mostly. Some smaller services are run for free without data mining and whatnot because they're cheap to run, and there's plenty of trustworthy FOSS software.
gollark: The definition of "4G" involved some unreasonably high standard, so we got "LTE" instead.
