  1. AllMusic
    80
    For those with more of an ear for intricate soundcraft and matchbox symphonies, The Camel's Back ends up being something far more satisfying and memorable.
  2. PopMatters
    80
    The Camel’s Back is so perfectly judged and crafted, so busy and disparate and yet so harmonious and consistent that it marks a definitely improvement in the duo’s work.
  3. Prefix Magazine
    70
    With The Camel's Back, Psapp grows up while successfully eluding categorization in the quest for catchiness.
  4. No Ripcord
    70
    While The Camel’s Back demonstrates a clear progression in Psapp’s worth as songwriters and musicians, it becomes easy to ignore what they accomplish creatively as the ears only pick up on its “cuteness” factor.
  5. Dusted Magazine
    70
    It’s fine for a lark, but you can leave the tikis in the attic where they belong.
  6. Tiny Mix Tapes
    60
    A little more feeling would have gone a long way towards elevating The Camel’s Back into memorable territory. As it stands, whatever magic the album might have mustered has been smothered in the womb.

    It's nice to hear fresh songs that won't automatically connect an ad-addled brain with Disaronna (yet). [Spring 2009, p.77]
