Critical reception

Fred Thomas of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, saying, "[Del has] clearly been writing his own rules since the beginning, and the lucid dreaming and everyday observations of I Wish My Brother George Was Here are the first and some of the best examples of this, and how wonderful the results can be."[1]
