Critical reception
editMichael McCall of Allmusic rated the album four stars out of five, saying that she showed a similar musical personality to her work in Highway 101, but adding that the production was too slick.[2] Alanna Nash of Entertainment Weekly gave the album a "C", saying that "Without a spirited band behind her[…]Carlson and her hyper-quavering soprano seem oddly detached from the material, which, with the exception of the bluesy The Chain Just Broke, seems merely bland and undistinguished country-pop."[3]
