Critical reception

[edit]

AllMusic said, "Though some of this material dates back a decade and has been vigorously road tested, it has never been previously recorded.... Nonetheless, SCI fans – and make no mistake, that's exactly who this record is for – will likely be delighted that despite studio economy, the band manages to retain its live energy in the studio even as it grows musically."[2]

Grateful Web wrote, "Song in My Head is pure Cheese, and stands as easily one of their best albums of their career thus far. The recordings capture the vibe just as they would sound on stage (with a few tweaks here and there of course)... Fans will be excited to get a new album that actually sounds like the band. And just like their incredible live performances, this release is a party from start to finish."[3]

KURE said, "The String Cheese Incident is a band that sounds like what would happen if Phish, Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, and Return to Forever all got together and just jammed.... If you like bluegrass, jazz fusion, or jam bands and somehow haven't heard of the String Cheese Incident yet, I recommend checking them out."[4]
