Critical reception
SF Weekly wrote that "on 'Where Have All the Good Boys Gone', the relative hush and use of empty space allow aural elements that would have been drowned out in a Great Wall of Marshall stacks to stand crisp and resolute."{{Cite web|url=https://www.sfweekly.com/music/quiet-please-were-rocking/|title=Quiet, Please - We're Rocking|date=July 9, 1997|website=SF Weekly}} Rolling Stone called the album "an evocative blend of psychedelic melancholia."
The Chicago Tribune deemed it "a woefully overlooked gem," writing that the band "used a handful of keyboards, guitars and percussion to produce a dreamy, trippy tapestry of minimalist hooks."{{cite news |last1=Reger |first1=Rick |title=DISTINCTIVE POP TRIFECTA |work=Chicago Tribune |date=14 Aug 1998 |location=Friday |page=18}} Nashville Scene labeled the songs' grooves "mesmerizing, like hearing all the odd juxtapositions of an old Yes song smoothed out and shaped into something gentle and calm."{{cite news |last1=Murray |first1=Noel |title=Back in the States, American Analog Set's second album... |work=Nashville Scene |date=December 11, 1997 |location=Nashville Cream}} AllMusic gave the album a 4.5/5 and said the album "weaves a sonic tapestry of remarkable intricacy and texture" and "is truly a thing of beauty".{{Citation |title=From Our Living Room to Yours - The American Analog Set {{!}} A |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/from-our-living-room-to-yours-mw0000026742 |access-date=2024-03-27 |language=en}}
