Reception

The editors of AllMusic awarded the album 412 stars, and reviewer Dave Lynch praised the album's "complexity and quirkiness," writing: "Of Queues and Cures is one of the last and finest examples of the instrumental Canterbury sound on record during the 1970s."[1]

John Kelman of All About Jazz stated that "there's a strength about the new line-up that makes its short-lived duration all the more unfortunate," and praised "The Bryden Two-Step (For Amphibians), Pt. 1," noting: "Episodic in construction, with more things going for its nine minutes than most entire albums have, it's brighter, more committed and more powerfully played than... anything on the group's first effort."[2]

In his book 1,000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die, Tom Moon listed the album as a suggested follow-up to Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom.[3]
