AllMusic[5]

Trouser Press stated: "Where most of Prekop's previous output shuffles, The Biz meanders; dynamic grooves give way to lazy jamming, hooks are outnumbered by pointless riffing and some of the mellower material would be right at home on a lite-rock radio station."[6] The Chicago Tribune called the album "a stunning amalgam of infectious hooks and thoughtful experimentation."[7]

AllMusic wrote: "A less structured record than previous efforts, The Biz is also the Sea and Cake's most subdued: songs like the title track, 'Station in the Valley' and 'Sending' are loose and languid, favoring a more jam-oriented and subconscious vibe over the taut dynamics of earlier work."[5] Paste listed it as the 20th best indie rock album of 1995.[8]
