      Reception


      Editors at AllMusic Guide rated this album four out of five stars, with critic Tim DiGravina comparing this music unfavorably to Mercury Rev and Pavement, claiming that there is "not much innovation or improvement when the songs are compared to the band's peers". In an overview of the band's career for Trouser Press, Deborah Sprague considers the change from Tom Leonard to Jim Roberts a step down for the band's sound and considers Let It Come Down "the aural equivalent of trying to cross the Atlantic in a Volvo". Cherly Botchick of CMJ New Music Monthly noted the band's unique style and sound, opining that they had been underappreciated, but now have an opportunity to get a larger audience with this release.
