Adam Greenberg of AllMusic gave the album four stars, calling it a "good starting point", containing "every style the producers can find" from the region.[3] Michaelangelo Matos, writing for the Chicago Reader, described the release as "folkie" and "pretty", but that it should be listened to in small doses by anyone but "panpipe addicts".[4]
