AllMusic gave Songs About Leaving a lukewarm review, stating that its "abundance of down-turned emotional muck may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it definitely stands out as something not quite so ordinary in the musical landscape."[1] Pitchfork gave the album a positive review, stating that it "sounds fascinatingly hesitant", and is "all the more devastating for being the band's final act."[2]

Ben Bridwell has one of the lions from the front cover tattoed on his neck[3]
