Kim Cheshire from Country Update magazine wrote "The songwriting and vocals are much more mature and assured, the production warmer and a little more adventurous, and there's absolutely nothing here that's going to sway me from my opening salvo, she's still the best country songwriter we’ve got and as far as I can see she's still racing way ahead of the pack".
