Review highlights: catchy emo/post-hardcore songwriting, political critique of Western/American consumerism in the lyrics, Conor Oberst sings with a more aggressive style than in Bright Eyes, keyboards are prominent and sometimes intrusive, the band had a short initial run.

A DeBaser review praises Read Music/Speak Spanish for catchy emo/post-hardcore songs and political critique of American consumerism. The reviewer laments the band's short initial life and highlights Conor Oberst's angrier vocal approach. Keyboards are noted as sometimes intrusive but the album is broadly recommended.
