Reception
Gimme Indie Rock has received generally favorable reviews from critics. Spectrum Culture scored the album 3 out of 5, stating that it was more of a "useful reference [...] than a consistently enjoyable read, but that usefulness may well lead you to great music you’ve never heard before." Consequence called it an "infinitely readable guide". PopMatters critc Kevin Korber gave the album 6 out of 10. He said that it was "hard to say if the book itself is essential, though many of the albums it covers are", but praised Earles' enthusiasm and concluded that he "wrote this book for the right reasons, and he’s sure to find an audience receptive to his take on this era of American music." Mark Dober of Maximumrocknroll said that Earles' reviews "do a good job of putting [its] records in context to their timeframes and scenes", and that it offered "a good cross section of the indie music of [its] era".
