Critical reception
Riff felt that the "album's 14 tracks find a sweet spot between the sunny, fun-fun-fun façade of Wilson's music and the anxieties and melancholy that anchor it",[2] while American Songwriter reviewed that "it's an unorthodox tack for a tribute, but it's one that still resonates well."[3]
