Womblife ends with Juana, a 12:34 piece that Brian Olewnick of AllMusic singled out as the more conventional track on an experimental record. Marc Masters of Pitchfork called it simple and beautiful. Jim O'Rourke plays guitar on it. It reappeared in 1998 on Georgia Stomps, Atlanta Struts, and Other Contemporary Dance Favorites, Fahey's first and only live electric guitar album, which was recorded in Atlanta in August 1997.
