In his review of the album for AllMusic, critic Marc Deming said that "the fact that one man with a guitar and some occasional overdubs can make something this powerful and challenging is truly impressive...Nothing Important's best moments clearly belie its title." [6] Guardian reviewer Michael Hann wrote that "this is a record that unsettles and subverts. Whether it's a masterpiece or a fraud will become apparent with the passage of time." [7]
