AllMusic wrote in its review about the album, "Passing through the Valley of Abandoned Songs, it seems, is a little like visiting the Lost & Found, and there's definite value in these reclaimed works of art."^[1] PopMatters gave the album seven stars and stated "Valley of Abandoned Songs offers a whistling-through-the-graveyard approach to contemporary life."^[2] Glide Magazine wrote "No wonder this eccentric ensemble continues to make albums like Valley of Abandoned Songs that reaffirm the notion great music is timeless,"^[5] and The AU Review praised it as "a clean and concise collection of songs that were never intended to fit as a collection but ultimately blend seamlessly into one another."^[4] No Depression remarked "Valley of Abandoned Songs toes the realm between the fantastical and the physical, always bringing a world-weary grounding to The Felice Brothers' lovingly crafted worlds where nothing is ever as it seems."^[3]
