Critical reception
The Globe and Mail wrote that "the sound is American hip country punk with a comic twist."[9] The Los Angeles Times determined that the album "retains the raucous garage-band sensibility of last year's debut, Cabin Flounder, while expanding the Bones' eclectic-and eccentric-tendencies."[5] The Vancouver Sun concluded that "Hope Nicholls sounds a lot like Patti Smith, and Fetchin' Bones has the energetic freshness of a new wave band, circa 1978."[10] The Providence Journal noted that "the pop ingenues of one track become artful satirists on others, tossing in backwards tape effects, disco whistles, demented Dylanesque harmonica, diabolically scratchy violin and deep, gloomy backup vocals that sound like medieval chanting."[11]
