Rating it 4 out of 5 stars, AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that it "showcases the singer's softer side more than its predecessors".[5] Matt Bjorke of Roughstock reviewed the album favorably, stating that Eldredge "has figured out what makes his music get even better and better: Personal vulnerability mixed with passionate performances. These are both something which Brett Eldredge is packed to the gills with."[6] Cillea Houghton of Sounds Like Nashville was also positive, writing that "Charming, emotional and diverse are descriptions that suit Brett Eldredge, but predictable certainly isn’t with its eclectic mix of sounds, proving that Eldredge has grown as an artist."[7]
