Editorial Reviews 3 stars out of 5 - ...praised for its fleshed-out sound and cool waft of Americana...it still sounds fresh 5 years on....[It] enhanced Vic Chesnutt's reputation as a tunesmith... Q (04/01/2000)
...Vic Chestnutt's latest batch of songs....the general impression is of the rottenness of humanity, be it the self-righteous rock star pilloried in 'PC', the self-lacerating 'Miserable' or the 'warm bodies [wrapped] in plastic wrap' salvaged from a maritime disaster in 'Western Ferry'... Mojo (03/01/2000)
...in the strength of the songs, it beats anything [Chesnutt's] ever done in terms of making him sound like a top-rank artist who remains compelling even when his considerable eccentricities stay submerged... Option (03/01/1996)
...NINE HIGH A PALLET is the sort of album that seems created for the term `not what you expected'... Alternative Press (12/01/1995)
A collaboration between cult faves Vic Chesnutt and Widespread Panic, Brute. could be seen as the indie version of Neil Young and Pearl Jam....Each reins in past excesses, producing a compelling, rollicking disc. - Rating: A- Entertainment Weekly (09/29/1995)
