Critical reception
AllMusic wrote that "given a rich, reliable musical backing on Hope, Oldham is free to wander without hindering the songs."[3] Trouser Press wrote that "the fuller tone of these songs, colored to a great degree by Liam Hayes’ Hammond organ, is reminiscent of Dylan’s initial Nashville forays — particularly the hypnotic 'Agnes, Queen of Sorrow.'"[4] The Spin Alternative Record Guide wrote that Oldham "hones the edge between uncertainty and beauty."[5]
