Reception

Mark Deming of AllMusic wrote: "God Bless the Red Krayola and All Who Sail with It bears precious little resemblance to anything else that appeared at the time; it would take a few decades of post-punk experimentalism before Mayo Thompson's vision would have a truly suitable context, though the album's playful undercurrent goes a long way toward making these tiny shards of sound go down easily for the musically open-minded."[2] The Spin Alternative Record Guide called the album "superb," describing it as "small songs full of quiet terror and acoustic confusion."[5]

Texas Monthly wrote that "a generation on, [the] album would be a blueprint for punk rock."[8]
