The Star Tribune wrote that the album "has no irresistible tunes but plenty of good, well-crafted numbers." [12] The Gazette noted that the "adult-oriented pop and country record has an almost limpid quality to it; partially due to the brother's effortless harmonies; partly because of Edmond's hands-off production; and partly thanks to the astounding virtuosity of veteran players."
