Reception

Editors at AllMusic rated this album 4.5 out of 5 stars, with critic Fred Thomas writing that How I Learned to Write Backwards is the "brightest album from San Francisco retro-minded indie pop sweethearts the Aislers Set", which continues to draw on primary songwriter Amy Linton's 1960s pop inspirations while adding "looming paranoia and youthful lightheartedness" that he compares to Laura Nyro and Judee Sill that makes "a masterwork in an unflinchingly great catalog, easily their most comprehensive statement and full of a foggy kind of bliss that no other band after them ever quite replicated".[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] }}
