"Like a lot of the material Claypool has released under his own name, Four Foot Shack is a mixed bag. But this time around the positives outweigh the negatives by quite a bit, and the album's relaxed vibe is a nice change for Claypool. Somehow, the "two dudes playing on a back porch" style of this project finds a middle ground between the intensity of Claypool's Primus material and his often meandering, sometimes boring jam band-oriented solo material".
