Spill Magazine
Listening to this set over and over, it actually doesn’t make a difference whether Neutral Milk Hotel come up with anything new. Their truly left-field music stands the test of time and is a landmark for something that could be dubbed lo-fi avant-garde music.
90
AllMusic
This set offers a comprehensive look at one of the more fascinating songwriters to have come out of the '90s underground, showing the depths of Mangum's beguiling sound world go deeper (and get stranger) than his most celebrated work.
85
Under the Radar
A catalog of music that still sounds as fascinating, moving, sometimes surreal, and original as ever, decades after its release.
85
Spectrum Culture
Merge gives Mangum, its ever-reclusive star, the boxed-set treatment.
80
PopMatters
Essentially a re-issue of a 2011 box set with Neutral Milk Hotel’s recorded work, their legacy remains unparalleled even if there’s not much new to exhume.
80
Record Collector
This represents the sum of the NMH music that Mangum is happy sharing with the world, and anything he may have worked on since ’98 remains private.

A must-have for anyone with an interest in the band, The Collected Works of Neutral Milk Hotel provides a brilliant overview of an elusive, influential group.
