| AllMusic |   |
Trouser Press wrote that "between the epic grind of 'Snow' and the too-brief pop discourse of '20,000 Leagues', Some Velvet Sidewalk covers all of nerd-pop's bases, getting thrown out only when they unplug on the insufferably twee 'Crayons'." A "Review Revue" from DJs at KEXP had mixed opinions, one calling it awful while another called it "noisy, sloppy, spare & packed full of emotion... Fans of early Beat Happening & Mecca Normal may enjoy".
