She ended her review by saying that "though the album is flawed (some tracks on the 33 - minute disc are so brief that they never leave the ground), there is still something here that's compelling enough to stand alone ." David Marchese of Spin gave the album three and a half out of five stars . He said, "The handful of somber, droning mood pieces don't really transcend their film - contingent origins, but on the actual full - length songs...Vedder's incantatory vocals and campfire instrumentation evoke the eerie beauty of untouched land ."
