Writing for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine called Sufjan Stevens's cover of "What Goes On" the "only severe misstep" of the album and call the tribute "an album filled with good, generally pleasant covers that in no way replace the original Beatles versions but do offer as a nice reminder of what great songwriters Lennon, McCartney and Harrison were." Conversely, Rob Mitchum of Pitchfork called Stevens's performance "a surprisingly gritty jam" and of the album itself "if it gets anything right about the original Rubber Soul, it's in the sense of perfectly replicating the progenitor's unevenness."
