Reception
[edit ]Critics have generally found the album to be subpar.[3] Spin magazine described Far Side as "mellow and reflective" without being "too sleepy or pretentious".[4] Although popular among Buffett's fans, the music style was criticized as not being popular for a wide range of audiences.[5]
