[5] David Fricke of Rolling Stone said, "The whole thing is a weird mix – folky self-obsession, crackling pop, heavy, metallic sighing – but Three Fish is definitely worth, in the words of one song, 'a lovely meander.

The Los Angeles Times wrote: "An earthy, organic trio that eschews most traces of Pearl Jam's carefully constructed, hard-driving riff-rock, the band leans on a no-holds-barred sound that rings with the emotive, loose-limbed flow of Middle Eastern music.
