Eric R. Danton wrote in his Hartford Courant blog Sound Check: "It's true — there are horns on 'The Search,' Son Volt's fifth studio album … along with other expansive touches like strings, narrative-style writing and a subtle sense of optimism from Jay Farrar, who has a reputation as something of a dour lyricist. 'I guess as I get older, I get more optimistic,' Farrar said during an interview last weekend in New York. The horns on 'The Picture' are bright and punchy, and the tone … reminds me a little bit of 'Can't Hardly Wait' by the Replacements" (1/26/07).
