 In the NME , Neil Spencer wrote that " Though ' Extra Texture ' isn 't the Harrison revival that many might have hopes for , it 's still several leagues superior to Hari 's more recent efforts ; and just as ' All Things Must Pass ' would have made a great single album , so ' Extra Texture ' would make a more than commendable single side . " Spencer described the album 's content as " the customary mournful and doom @-@ laden Harrison we 've come to know and fear , only this time the rigours of love take precedence over matters spiritual " , and he advised his readers : " I 've played it , I don 't mind it … Hari fans can anticipate purchase with glee . Others approach with cautious optimism . "
