Critical reception
The Austin Chronicle called the album a "highly eclectic glide through folk, blues, electronic, and post-punk."
[10]
Magnet wrote: "With Introduction , Thompson and Co. take on Americana 21st-century style, pushing the oddities of past albums to the background while emphasizing melody and giving free range to Thompson’s warm-yet-eerie comments on shark attacks and unbroken circles."
[11]
CMJ New Music Monthly called it "further proof that Thompson is one of the few geniuses demented enough to have never suffered growing pains."
