Critical reception

AllMusic wrote: "Whether he's hitting the highway on tour in a beat-up van, harvesting weed in Mexico, or jotting down mental notes about strangers in the park, Prophet has a great eye for details, and these 12 songs are often powerfully evocative and acidly funny, short stories of a memorable life where fate often puts a twist in the tale."[6] Esquire thought that the influence of Prophet's hometown, San Francisco, "is evident in the still psychedelic but also jamming, occasionally neurotic vibe."[7]
