Reception
| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = The AllMusic review by Rick Anderson says, "Throughout the album, Reece digs into his bag of sonic tricks without ever doing anything that detracts from the music itself. Soundin' Off is a little bit uneven, but is never less than a solid pleasure to listen to."
