Critical reception

Exclaim! wrote that "the songs themselves are generally uninspired, and often feel unfinished despite being co-written, almost all of them, with top-notch songwriters." [4] Relix wrote that Carll's "hard-bitten tales bring favorable comparisons to Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark and Kris Kristofferson." [7]
