| AllMusic |   [3] |
The Patriot Ledger wrote that "Calexico sticks with basic guitar and drums, with the occasional fiddle or string bass and here and there a Mexican-style accordion... It makes for a subtly entrancing sound, with the open spaces in the music often meaning as much as the stark arrangements themselves."[4] The San Francisco Examiner noted the "intoxicating, sometimes moody sound."[5]
