Critical reception
The Coincidentalist received very good ratings. Andy Gill, from The Independent praised most of the songs, calling the album "a set of relaxed songs", and gave 3 out of 5 stars. Mojo magazine, with 4 out of 5 stars, said about the album that "It’s his excellently loose band (featuring M. Ward and Sonic Youth’s Steve Shelley), intimate vocals and fondness for chimes that keep the disintegrating threads woven together". As well as NOW magazine, Mojo Magazine, Exclaim, Blurt Magazine and Magnet gave 4 out of 5 stars.
The Website Allmusic gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, and finished its critics with saying : "The Coincidentalist is one of Gelb's most realized efforts; despite its relaxed, airy presentation, it's musically and lyrically provocative, as poetic, strange, and mysterious as the desert itself. "
The newspaper 'Tucson Weekly', a local newspaper from Gelb's living town, saying " it's mixed up close, like an intimate, whispered confidence, as if Gelb were spinning old stories in the privacy of your living room".
