The available DeBaser review praises Monsters of Folk's self-titled album for its warm, near-acoustic American balladry that mixes folk, country, soul and rock. The reviewer highlights the collaborative blend of Jim James, Conor Oberst, Mike Mogis and M. Ward and singles out tracks such as "Say Please," "Dear God" and "Temazcal." Overall a heartfelt, slightly homesick record rooted in singer-songwriter traditions.
