Review

Tomas Mureika of All Music said "The songs are produced in such a way as to spotlight [Reyne's] inimitable voice. Most of the songs are done strictly acoustically, with just Reyne and a guitar, although some are given different arrangements ("One More River" has been given an almost reggae beat, while "Any Day Above Ground" has an ironically funereal dirge about it). There are a couple of new tracks, "The Euphonious Whale" and "How to Make Gravy". This fascinating reimagining of a fantastic catalog of songs nicely reconnects with an artist who had entered the new century with the aggressiveness of Speedboats for Breakfast. Not your typical 'hits' record, And the Horse You Rode in On is all the more entertaining for it."[3]
