A review of High Seas in No Depression described it as "...A spooky, swampy triumph....unsettling and addictive with each subsequent spin..."[4] The Chicago Tribune's Chris Nelson wrote in his review of the album that "on High Seas...things are indeed odd, but they're also well executed, from the creepy to the caring and all emotional stops between."[5]

Greil Marcus named the album his 2nd favorite rock album of 2001, writing that on it, the band "...sounds like an old motel on Route 66 looks".[6]
