reception

Pitchfork Media gives the album a grade of 6.4 out of 10 and particularly emphasizes the multiple, clearly audible style changes between the years from which the songs originate ( “While the album isn't arranged chronologically, listening to it as such reveals the series of intuitive leaps between lo-fi bedroom folk that emphasized monotonous gloom and cacophonous samples to comparatively laid-back country biased toward majestic arrangements and electronic beats. " ).

Allmusic gives the album three and a half out of five points.

The German music magazine Visions rated the album with 8 out of 12 points and stated: “A collection of rarities that doesn't work as a closed work […] Naturally, everything is not always great, but every minute is worth your attention, even if the child prodigy isn't one works wonders. " .
