Jonathan Lewis of [[AllMusic]] reviewed ''Slightly Odway'', and wrote "Opening with the song that really launched their career, 'Leaving Home', the band sets the scene for what is to come. Loud guitars, cartoonishly simple lyrics, and a chorus that would send even the tamest of mosh-pits into a frenzy. And all of it topped by Kevin Mitchell's bizarre singing style – a mess of twisted vowels and the same sort of pronunciation that had James Reyne's fans reaching for their lyric sheets in confusion."<ref name="Lewis">{{cite web | url = http://www.allmusic.com/album/slightly-odway-mw0000369068 | title = ''Slightly Odway'' – Jebediah | Songs, Reviews, Credits, Awards | publisher = [[AllMusic]] | last = Lewis | first = Jonathan | access-date = 25 January 2015 }}</ref> |
