AllMusic | [2] |
Steve Leggett of AllMusic calls Sleepless in Seattle: The Birth of Grunge "a nice set from a fascinating era." [2] David Browne of Entertainment Weekly praised the remastered music and called the album a "compilation of unruly Northwestern hard rock of the '80s and '90s is a valuable reminder that Seattle gave us more than Nirvana." [3] The Louisville Eccentric Observer claimed "what's here is empirical, historical documentation that a movement had been afoot long before Kurt Cobain's sad, snarling blue eyes looked through you." [4]
Tim Perlich NOW was critical of Sleepless in Seattle's the track selection and said "a Seattle grunge comp without Mudhoney's Touch Me I'm Sick is one you don't need." [5] Seattle Weekly criticized the aesthetics of the liner notes but warmly received the music, saying "the whole thing flows like a prized mixtape." [6]
