Critical reception

Chris Jones of BBC Review called River a “masterpiece” comparing Reid’s "funky folk blues" as "evolving into a similar abstraction" as Van Morrison’s Astral Weeks, writing "It’s this jazz abstraction that makes River such a pleasure". Jones commented on "the deeply charged emotion and pioneering spirit" of the recording process arguing that while "the meandering scat style is hard to grasp at first", "Lindley's guitar work is as fluid as Reid's way with words." ^[7]
