Robert Christgau noted that "ever more delicate backup horns subsume ever more docile backup vocals as his unearthly outcries grow more coaxing, less admonitory." [4] The Boston Globe called Farover "a generally solid roots effort, even if it is not as intense as Burning Spear Live." [7] The Miami Herald deemed the album "typical of him—mostly philosophical tunes like 'O'Jah' and the title song that are bouncy and soothing at best." [8] Trouser Press praised the "haunting vocals and trance-inducing music." [9]
