Critical reception

AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave Crooked Rain perfect 5-star value, describing it as "The Reckoning to Slanted & Enchanted ' s Murmur ". He concluded that the album was "a dynamic, dynamic, and emotional resonance album that stood as an underground rock test rock in the 90s and one of the great albums of the decade." Robert Christgau from Village Voice gave the A grade album, describing it as a "melodywise de force de force". David Browne gave B album, writing that "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain" is just a group of people who think about topics such as skateboarding, plane crashes, kids girls, and mocking the Pilot of the Temple of Stone, when they set the sentiments into uneven ramps or little country linten... the result has a delicate and compelling beauty. " Los Angeles Times > critic Richard Cromelin gave the album 3.5 out of 4 stars. Cromelin writes that this album contains "some loopiness Meat Puppets, a Stoke/Burritos folk-country resonance, and a carefree pop tunefulness - along with quite the opposite harshness to make you less comfortable with them."

• - Because the ink splashes on the back of the original work, the song "Silence Kid" has become mistakenly known as "Silence Kit". This error persists when designer Mark Ohe prints it on the back of a reissue. Crooked Rain, Curved Rain: LA's Desert Origins , though interior artworks show the correct names in prints several times, including those written in Stephen Malkmus' Handwriting itself. Since the original naming, however, it seems the band also refers to the song as "Silence Kit" in the listing set as well.
