Mojo (Publisher) (p.123) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "For three years, the Bard of Minnesota had his own radio show of wildly eclectic sounds of mostly 20th-century American popular music....The tunes are flawless."

Record Collector (magazine) (p.98) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The constant chopping and changing of moods, eras and methodology makes this album almost impossible to review with any sense of continuity -- which in itself defines the brilliance of the radio show."

Uncut (magazine) (p.94) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[I]n a way the rare contemporary selections are more interesting, with Costello and Nirvana among those making the Zim's playlists."
