Reception

The Allmusic review by Ned Raggett awarded the album 4 stars and states "I Was a Mail Order Bridegroom is one of Ed Kuepper's finest releases, his equivalent of an MTV Unplugged appearance but many times better than the usually dull efforts that implies... Perhaps the best thing about this album is that every song sounds like the best thing Kuepper has ever done while it's playing — high praise, perhaps, but it's the easiest way to capture the disc's lovely, entrancing spirit".
