Pitchfork Media rated the album 7.3 out of 10, with reviewer Brad Haywood calling it "a solid debut, long on talent but maybe a bit short on melody or lacking in appropriate production". Allmusic awarded it four stars, with Tom Semioli calling it a "mesmerizing debut outing". Indy Week described it as "a quiet collection of songs that tend to spotlight the lyrics, and in Thomas' case, that's definitely a plus"."[https://web.archive.org/web/20140611025704/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P3-507698301.html Rosie Thomas: When We Were Small; Sub Pop CDs]", Indy Week, May 1, 2002. Geoffrey Himes, writing for the Washington Post, commented on Thomas's "frail, breathy soprano that offers reluctant confessions over minimalist keyboard settings".Himes, Geoffrey (2002) "[https://web.archive.org/web/20140611025703/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-351773.html Review]", Washington Post, April 19, 2002.
