Critical reception

No Depression wrote that "Wynn’s nineteen-song cycle of a Southern California suspended between the millennium and the apocalypse infuses his literary aspirations with rock ‘n’ roll smarts, as if he's fronting Raymond Chandler's supercharged garage band."[7] The Los Angeles Times called the album "a freewheeling yet self-assured balance of Wynn’s own voice and the influences long associated with him--the darkness of the Velvet Underground, the spaciousness of Neil Young and the oblique introspection of Bob Dylan."[6] The Washington Post called the album the best of Wynn's career.[8] The Cleveland Scene called it "an amazing, visionary double CD, a voyage through the psychic topography of contemporary Los Angeles that taps into and expresses deep fears as well as hopes for redemption."[9]
