Critical reception

Giving it 312 stars out of 5, Bobby Peacock of Roughstock praised the "uncluttered, often soft production" and Lynch's voice, but thought that the latter half of the album contained too many songs about partying. [1] An identical rating came from Billy Dukes of Taste of Country , who said that "His more pensive, thought-provoking lyrics stand out above the party songs." [2]
