"This was a national professional tip sheet which was normally worried about people like Donna Summer and Billy Joel and Survivor and all those kind of acts that were mega popular in the 1980s. I had no idea of the impact that the Gavin Report writing about 10-5-60 had."http://www.pennyblackmusic.co.uk/MagSitePages/Article/8196/Long-Ryders-Interview Long Ryders Interview Clarkson John pennyblackmusic.co.uk 8 March 2016 14 February 2020 The Long Ryders were initially linked with the neo-psychedelia of the Los Angeles Paisley Underground scene, and 10-5-60 shows influences ranging from garage rock and psychedelia to Byrdsian folk and country rock.https://www.allmusic.com/album/10-5-60-mw0000842452 10-5-60 – AllMusic Review AllMusic Deming Mark 14 February 2020https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1983/12/01/60s-potpourri/f7e8b14c-e6f0-4838-b589-c29d491626de/ '60s Potpourri The Washington Post Sasfy Joe 1 December 1983 14 February 2020https://music.apple.com/bs/artist/the-long-ryders/6550318 Apple Music - About The Long Ryders iTunes 14 February 2020 In 2016, the Guardian's Michael Hann described the EP as "deeply indebted to the 60s".https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2016/sep/13/cult-heroes-the-long-ryders-the-accidental-creators-of-alt-country Cult heroes: the Long Ryders – the accidental creators of alt-country The Guardian Hann Michael 13 September 2016 14 February 2020 In his book Country Roads: How Country Came to Nashville, musicologist Brian Hinton writes, "the band's punkish roots are sweetened by banjo, steel guitar and autoharp, and that Byrdsian propulsion is firmly on the launch pad. They are not played gently, though, and the vocals are the very antithesis of Nashville cool. If Gram Parsons approached country with respect, this is a full-tilt drunken assault."Hinton Brian 2000 Country Roads: How Country Came to Nashville https://books.google.com/books?id=jzYDAwAAQBAJ&q=sid+griffin+10-5-60+cover&pg=PT674 London Sanctuary Publishing 978-1860742934 Brian Hinton The cover, with its 1960s look echoing old Byrds promo shots, was shot by noted punk rock photographer Ed Colver. "The stark front cover caused heads to turn at the Gavin Report and Billboard, as the Long Ryders looked so unlike the synth-pop acts of the era," Griffin said. The idea behind the cover, according to Griffin, "was me and photographer Ed Colver deciding to send a signal ... I always bought anything I saw if it looked '66."Mills John Final Wild Son https://www.sidgriffin.com/downloads/Sid-Griffin-shindig-part-1.pdf Shindig! 14 February 2020 Colver also subsequently shot the cover for the band's Native Sons album.

In a retrospective review, AllMusic's Mark Deming rated it three stars out of five, noting the Long Ryders' obvious affection for the Byrds, but adding that "they sound less like a throwback than some vintage band who somehow passed through a wrinkle in time and ended up in 1983." He also called the title track one of "the most exciting performances to come out of the '80s garage revival."
