In 2013, "The Guardian" named "Terminal Love" in their "101 Strangest Albums on Spotify" series. The newspaper noted that 30 years on, "Ivers' oddball leanings sound entirely contemporary. Those same arrangements that seemed so off-putting in 1974 feel rich and comfortable now, and the passing of time has leant "Terminal Love" a delicious hipster twang it couldn't possibly have enjoyed as a new release." In a 2010 piece for "NME", Danger Mouse listed "Terminal Love" as one of his favorite "underrated records."
