Critical reception
The album received mixed reviews, with some critics comparing Mascis (both favorably and unfavorably) to Neil Young.[11][6][8] Rolling Stone wrote that "these bare-bones interpretations add nothing to the songs besides a new vocal and lyrical clarity, and considering the annoying nature of Mascis' nasal whine and the tossed-off quality of his lyrics, that isn't a good thing."[12] The Indianapolis Star opined that, "while Mascis doesn't have a singing voice conducive to an acoustic setting (though he's better off than, say, Tom Waits), his screechy Neil Young-like voice makes the best of it."[9]
