Guitar Player stated that "the guitar sounds on The Glands are unconventional and unpredictable, with cool clean tones, snotty lead sounds, and beautifully trashy power chords." The Des Moines Register noted that "Shapiro's voice is the plaintive, high-pitched whine you'd expect from an indie rock band, but it's endearing in the vein of, say, Wayne Coyne from the Flaming Lips." Newsday said that "Shapiro emotes like a slacker, vintage 1992, while his mates bend and rip chords ('Livin' Was Easy'), tap keyboards ('Breathe Out') or lay on the Beach Boy harmonies ('When I Laugh')."

The Tampa Tribune praised the "lyrics of unvarnished longing and regret laced with humor and a mixture of various music styles". Rolling Stone said that "the Glands amble through at the speed of hand-rolled cigarette smoke, pairing crackly guitar discord with gentle cellos and bell sounds for a sweet-and-sour effect." The Boston Globe called the album "memorable curveball pop." The Atlanta Journal-Constitution considered it one of the best albums of 2000.
