Reception
"...The New Amsterdams wouldn’t be The New Amsterdams if it wasn’t for songs like “Wait” where Pryor sounds as good as he ever sounded.[...] Unfortunately not all of the songs on here are as good as this one or as “Fountain of Youth” but overall “At The Foot Of My Rival” is yet another solid release by a great songwriter."[4] - Punkrocktheory
"Matt Pryor and The New Amsterdams are back with relatively soft, yet pleasant, melodies on their sixth album, At the Foot of My Rival. Though not exactly a priceless discovery, the group experiments with raw sounds (the album was mostly a home recording) and varied instrumentation that separates Rival from its predecessors."[5] - Americansongwriter
