"At over 90 minutes, the record becomes an ambient atmosphere unto itself. Petra Haden offers the album's only other voice, doing a brief impression of a drunk, bragging stranger Kozelek describes overhearing on a flight. Those already taken with Kozelek's rambling spoken style will enjoy the slightly different reading of it on All the Best, Isaac Hayes. The rolling piano instrumentals are the perfect backing for open-ended stories of tour experiences, boxing matches, and walking around various cities, taking everything in".
