Critical reception
The New York Times wrote that "Horvitz's pieces dip into blues and slide-guitar rock a la Little Feat, along with mock-minimalist repetition, tinges of gamelan or Latin or Japanese music, and whatever else pops into mind."
The AllMusic review by Brian Olewnick stated: "Bring Yr Camera is an enjoyable disc and very much of its time, but one can't help but think of some degree of wasted potential".Olewnick, B. AllMusic Review accessed January 3, 2012
