Magnolia thunders through each number with burly confidence.

Q MagazineThe songs here bode well. [Jan 2005, p.128]
-
Trials and Errors could be looked at as vindication for Molina given his choice to move on from his Songs: Ohia days; but as an essential live album, [it] leaves much to be desired.
