^ a b The Guardian, Thursday "Van Dyke Parks: 'I was victimised by Brian Wilson's buffoonery'" by Dorian Lynskey.^ "Van Dyke Parks 'Orange Crate Art' ".The record came out and sank without a trace." Track listing Parks has repeatedly stated his disappointment with the album's reception, saying "It took three years and $350,000. Then again, Orange Crate Art isn't a pop album - it's a self-conscious work of art." Similarly, his lyrics are dense and laden with poetic imagery and metaphors, yet they are entirely too cerebral for a pop album. Instead of making his melodies catchy, Parks makes sure they are complex, which means they are rarely memorable. Stephen Thomas Erlewine for AllMusic wrote, "Van Dyke Parks' approach is intellectual, not instinctual, which means his compositions are over-labored and overwrought. Given the history of its artists, the album came with high expectations, but upon release it received mixed critical reviews and had lackluster sales, failing even to chart.

Reception Professional ratings Review scores Despite this, he was impassioned to record the album for Parks, determined to make something that he "could live with" ten years from then. Parks also reported that despite his invitation, Wilson had declined to contribute any music to the project. Wilson for his part contributes only the vocals and vocal arrangements.

Though billed and anticipated as a full collaboration, the album is devoted to Parks' compositions, and features his typical dense wordplay and orchestrations. What am I even doing here?" Parks hit the talk button and responded, "You’re here because I can’t stand the sound of my own voice!" Wilson paused, nodded his head, and stepped up to the microphone proclaiming, "Well, that makes sense! Okay, take one!" It is reported that Wilson interrupted the first vocal session for the album by asking Parks, "Wait a minute.
" Later adding, "When I found him, he was alone in a room staring at a television. According to Parks, "The reason why I asked him was to take care of this unfinished business, and to try to escape from the tyranny of the sense of history that's been placed on our own aborted effort. Wilson was in the middle of a court-ordered removal and restraining order from his psychiatrist, which came as a result of years of over-medication and gross misconduct. Sometime in 1992, Parks approached a then-reclusive Wilson with the invitation to record an album together. It pretends to be somnambulistic, but it really is an urging to think about California on those terms of lost love, of things that are disappearing, and the potential of the human spirit. At Christmastime or something once upon a time, that was a very special thing to have-an orange-because it came by train.…It was to extol the propagandist art that brought California a sense of realty it made real estate salable with the idea that California offered a Garden of Eden, a perpetual bread basket, a virtual cornicop. The first thing that came to mind was the word "orange." "Orange," of course being impossible to rhyme-is problematic in many other ways-but is also a totemic of the California dream, and I thought if there was anybody I wanted to have sing that, it would be Brian Wilson.…Probably my first impression of California was an orange. It was a beautiful song, and I was determined to put some lyrics to it. In the thirty years following their collaboration on the ill-fated Beach Boys' Smile project, Wilson and Parks had each developed their own solo careers.
