I Want Too Much sold poorly. A House was dropped from its label.[3]

Critical reception

Doug Brod, in Trouser Press, stated: "This is one amazing record. From the gentle folky strum of the opening "13 Wonderful Love Songs" to "Small Talk," I Want Too Much reveals a band with an uncanny knack for witty pop that actually means something."[4]
