Reviewing Wandering As Water, Pitchfork called it "[o]ne of the most overlooked gems of the past year [2003]", going on to assert that Brokaw's "acuity with control and complexity creates a subtle, unspoken poetry." Allmusic stated that although "[t]he acoustic set-up works very well for Brokaw's worn voice, [...] some songs he chose actually suffer from being fleshed out."
"Shoot Me First", "Recidivist", and "German Song" were written and first recorded by Brokaw's previous band, Come, whilst "Embryonic Journey" was composed by Jorma Kaukonen and originally performed by Jefferson Airplane. "Ba-Di-Da" was written by American folk singer-songwriter Fred Neil.
