''[[The Washington Post]]'' wrote: "Enlisting accordions, mandolin, pedal steel, and harmonica to flavor the usual rock instrumentation, the Crows play transliterated Celtic-rock not unlike [[the Hooters]]'. Such music seems to require a sense of self importance, and the quintet is not lacking".<ref>{{cite news |last1=Jenkins |first1=Mark |title=The Heroic Sweep of, Well ... Crows |work=The Washington Post |date=Oct 8, 1993 |page=N14}}</ref>

''[[Rolling Stone]]'' placed the album at 67 on its list of the "100 Best Albums of the ’90s", published in October 2019.<ref>https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/100-best-albums-of-the-90s-152425/moby-everything-is-wrong-89935/</ref>
