In his Allmusic review, music critic Steve Leggett wrote, "While this set, the group's first new album since 2003's Running Horse, has some bright, Poco-like moments with songs like "All Fired Up," "When She's Mine," and "Love Has No Reason," it's really a case of diminishing returns at this point... while it will please Poconuts, feels a bit generic and tired and in need of another voice or two."
