Reception
[edit]The album received a positive review from John Moore on Glide Music. He said "Butch Walker is one of the few musicians working today that can get away with an album as quirky as Butch Walker As… Glenn, an ode to the barroom piano player. It helps that the record is brilliantly executed."[3]
