Thom Jurek of AllMusic concludes his review with, "Produced by Linden, Bark is the garage band record of the year so far and reveals a band coming into its own with authority, reckless abandon, and a wicked rock & roll grin."[1]
No Depression writes in their review, "The group’s third album, Bark, also owes much to the chops of three frontmen: Colin Linden, with the reedy voice of an openly passionate Lyle Lovett; Tom Wilson, whose nicotine baritone roughs up everything it touches; and Stephen Fearing, straight-ahead in vocal style and languidly soulful in delivery."[2]
