For a band who rather bravely titled their debut album "Masterpiece", expectations were running high. And true to their word, Big Theif's 2016 album delivered and garnered favorable reviews from music critics. Jillian Mapes, of Pitchfork Media, said that the songs on the album "sound cherry-picked over a lifetime of writing". Portland Mercury's Ben Salmon have said Big Thief "alternately sounds like an unearthed field recording ("Little Arrow"), a pop band with a broken heart's pulse ("Vegas"), and a classic, buzzy indie-rock outfit ("Interstate")." Since then Big Thief has become a music press favorite, and the band proved that their masterful songwriting was no fluke. Their sophomore, 2017 released album "Capacity" was #2 on SPIN's "50 Best Albums of 2017"; while the song "Mary" ranked #44 on Pitchfork's 200 Best Songs of the 2010s list.

By 2019, the band covered more ground, reaching a more mainstream audience as their album U.F.O.F., reached the top of Billboard charts, including the #1 position on Alternative New Artist Albums, Americana/Folk Albums, Top New Artist Albums, #2 placement for LP Vinyl Albums, #6 placement for Current Alternative Albums, #8 placement for Current Rock Albums, and #142 for Billboard Top 200 Albums. And to cap that, U.F.O.F. was nominated for the Best Alternative Music Album for the 2020 Grammy Awards.
