Critical reception
AllMusic wrote that "of the many albums that grew out of Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue, this must be the strangest."[3] Reviewing a reissue of the album, Record Collector wrote: "Undoubtedly dated, but not lacking in the redeeming yuck factor, one can still enjoy the absurd 'Bananas And Cream' and 'Waitret, Please, Waitret' in mixed company."[10]
