According to Prine biographer Eddie Huffman, "Spanish Pipedream" is "a hilarious Age of Aquarius anthem, the hippie commune ideal summed up in less than four minutes." In 2003, the album, John Prine, was ranked number 452 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. John Denver recorded a famous cover version of this song on his 1971 album, Aerie.
