Reception

The album received mostly positive reviews. Amanda Petrusich, writing for Pitchfork, remarked that "All these instrumental singles and B-sides make [Pajo's] sonic trajectory clearer and easier to organize–when taken together, they chug hard like [Pajo's] career, shifting chronologically from Slint-ish guitar surges to acoustic country hymns to traveling beats to scummy rock songs."[1] Dusted Magazine reviewer Nathan Hogan stated that the album "organizes his material effectively while also reflecting the breadth of his solo career."[2]
