Reception
In his review of In Parts Assembled Solely, Jon Worley of Aiding & Abetting noted that "the only remix that outdoes the original is the first track" and "the live tracks prove that Spahn Ranch can play live, I guess, but they are completely redundant."[5] CMJ New Music Monthly listed the EP as the top "Family Album", which offers a list of releases to listen to with one's relatives.[6] Sonic Boom pointed to the live tracks as being the highlight of the album, saying "the sound quality isn't all that great, yet the live tracks have a raw emotional context to them which they lack in the studio versions."[7]
