Critical reception
editAllMusic thought that "Carney's sound imagineering defies classification (maybe it's skronk), though it has far more in common with the jazz avant garde of Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane than anything rock."[1] SF Weekly stated that "Carney plays a dizzying array of instruments—countless saxophones, clarinet, oud, banjo, trombone, violin, mandolin, cello, saw, harmonica—but each song seems to have a beginning, middle, and end."[5] Keyboard wrote that "there's more going on than just Spike Jones on marijuana ... 'Mile's Corner' serves up a serious slice of jazz."[6]
