Q (7/00, p.137) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...While still slightly unfocussed, the central thrust and uncompromising mix of quirky sounds still appeal but will ensure that it remains a firm but obscure favorite." Option (7-8/97, p.139) - "...cool, moody music with half-whispered vocals and jazzy guitar and organ effects....his music needs a lot more humor, energy and straight-forward songs to transform his twisted personal vision into something more universal." Melody Maker (7/5/97, p.50) - "...We're talkin' backwoods, God-strewn post country....WRONG-EYED JESUS is...a thing of intimate beauty, wrapped in translucent layers of pedal steel, slide guitar, and hi-fi versions of low-fi sounds."
