Critical praise
In a review by NME in May 2009, Laura Snapes said, "Not since Bon Iver's 'For Emma, Forever Ago' has there been such an accomplished album of torch songs...if you can spend a little time with 'Romanian Names' and not feel duly captivated by its sun-kissed longing, West Coast harmonies and occasional krautrock minimalism, your heart's probably made of stone."{{Cite news |last=Snapes |first=Laura |date=May 13, 2009 |title=Album review: John Vanderslice |work=NME |url=https://www.nme.com/reviews/reviews-john-vanderslice-10454-335825}}
