Trailer II was generally well received by critics, though it was sometimes viewed as less essential than The Trailer Tapes because much of its material had already been released in studio versions.[4][3]

Although recorded more than a decade before its release, Trailer II has been described as a valuable continuation of The Trailer Tapes, preserving Knight's earliest, most unvarnished songwriting.[4]
