The album is of a similar musical style to Roman Candle in its minimalist, acoustic folk sound. Smith mostly appears alone on his acoustic guitar, although he is occasionally backed up by the odd musical instrument, such as a harmonica and drums. Rolling Stone wrote of the album, "the music burrows, digging up gems of structure, melody and lyrical vividness that belie his naïve delivery [...] the sound is hummable pop, slowed and drugged, with tricky but unshowy guitar work driving the melodies forward". The album's lyrics contain many references to drug use, which Smith claimed were merely metaphorical.

Wild and alive," Mouse Bird Snake Wolf has also been reviewed by Booklist, Library Media Connection magazine, The Horn Book Magazine, The School Library Journal, Reading Time, and The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books.
