Reception
Metro Times called the album "fascinating, experimental and enjoyable" with "an almost spiritual, world music feel to the songs."[5] Folk and Acoustic Music Exchange said "Dos Y Dos has a charming storybook character to it, seemingly accompaniment for a Roald Dahl film that was never made."[10] L.A. Record praised the album and likened it to listening to a "quiet, melodic, throbbing conversation."[11] Spectrum Culture praised the musicianship but said the album was "great for having a think, but it ultimately lacks any major distinction."[4] SLUG magazine appreciated the album saying it was "a whole lot of history filtered through rather sparse instrumentation."[12]
