Trouser Press wrote that "with winning songs that are emotionally resonant and a little loopy, Equal Scary People... is an album that easily stands out in a soundalike crowd." The Los Angeles Times wrote that Hickman "offers a hip but down-home, honest but irony-laden mix that fans of Michelle Shocked and k.d. lang should relate to just fine."Track listing
