It received a 2/5 star rating at Allmusic. Critic Wilson Neate praised the covers by The Changelings and The Walkabouts, but wrote that "Unfortunately, many of the adaptations on Brittle Days are forgettable, or perhaps best forgotten[…]More surprising, perhaps, is the fact that, although both Drake's peers and subsequent generations of musicians have heaped accolades on his work, this album features few prominent names."
