The album has received positive to mixed reviews from music critics. AllMusic described Taylor's voice on the album as older and more mature and said that she also sounded "warm, rounded, and tonal".[1] The site gave a positive response to her covers of "Under the Bridge", "Fool to Cry", and "Kissing You", and praised the album's first single, "Beautiful". Slant Magazine compliments the album track "Crash" by calling it a "bombastic Celine Dion-style power ballad".[5]
Slant Magazine has given it a 2.5 star rating.[4]
