It features Condon playing his old Farfisa organ from Santa Fe which was used on Gulag Orkestar and The Flying Club Cup.

[6] AllMusic's Marcy Donelson wrote that Condon channeled performances "through a series of amplifiers, PA systems, and tape machines" in order to "capture sounds like mechanical buzzing, creaking instruments, and off-pitch tones".

Amid the usual parping trumpets and ukulele twangs are modular synths, tape loops, echo-drenched vintage organs, avant-jazz audioscapes and ambient sound paintings.

"[19] Will Hermes of Rolling Stone gave the album a favorable review, saying, "Condon's built an entire world with globetrotting horn charts at or near the heart, and Gallipoli revisits it with some of his most emotive songwriting and singing."

Paddy Kinsella of The Line of Best Fit praised the album as the band's best to date, stating, "[Gallipoli] is the sound of one of our most talented musicians rediscovering his love for what he was born to do.
