The Washington Post wrote that "there are some lovely tunes here ... but sometimes the thing's just too priggishly ethereal for its own good."^[7] The Chicago Tribune determined that, "without becoming maudlin or sentimental, [Mark] Mulcahy's fragile tenor invests the past with pathos, the mundane with joy."^[6] The Los Angeles Times opined that the band "plays soft-pedal sounds suited for introspective neo-folkies living on double espressos and tattered copies of Camus."^[8]

Release

Released on vinyl, CD, and cassette, the 10 song LP Me and Mr. Ray was issued under Rough Trade Records. The songs were composed by Mark Mulcahy and Ray Neal.
