Critical reception

Template:Music ratings In his review for AllMusic, Bruce Eder called Ten Easy Pieces "the best and most accessible of all Webb's albums".[1] Eder continued:

<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

His voice is more expressive than ever, and the performances are generally grittier, with more raw emotion than the better known hit versions display. The arrangements are generally very simple and straightforward, with Webb's piano the primary instrument, and several of the songs are performed in a deeply personal manner, more akin to home recording for Webb's own pleasure than to a commercial release—"Wichita Lineman", in particular, sounds here like the most personal and private of performances, filled with wrenching loneliness at which the Glen Campbell version only hints. The notes are very personal and revealing as well.[1]
