Writing for AllMusic, music critic James Allen wrote that while the album shared characteristics of music by Phish, he also commented: "Taken entirely on his own merits, Gordon comes across as an inventive but easygoing artist... Despite Gordon's multi-instrumental abilities, many of the songs are built—from the bottom up—around his funky, percolating basslines, but that's not to imply that any of the tunes are lacking in interesting harmonic development...
