Writing for Allmusic, music critic Bruce Eder wrote of the album "a dazzling amalgam of sounds and styles — there's a surprising emphasis on vocal numbers here... The obvious attempt on Chewing Pine to sell Kottke as more of a mainstream artist and a sometime singer obviously didn't work... There are enough good moments, and even a few transcendent ones, to justify owning this album."[1]
