Critical reception
Trouser Press called Ejector Seat Reservation "one of the most quietly ambitious records" of the 1990s, praising the "more tempered, classic-pop format." MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide called it the band's best album. Billboard called it one "of the more compelling guitar-pop albums of the mid-'90s."
