Writing for Allmusic, music critic Chris Nickson highly praised Brown and wrote of the album "Brown doesn't so much tell stories as suggest them, letting them work their way into the imagination. And in that way, he's a master, an American icon." [3] David Cantwell of No Depression wrote the album "finds Brown further developing his art in a rare but welcome direction... Brown’s rugged and arresting baritone, his every careful word, matters all the more." [5]

Music critic Nicole Solis wrote for Acoustic Guitar "Brown considers his role as a musician to bring people together, and his evocative songs explore the range of emotion found in human interaction. He lovingly recounts tales of loneliness, memories of a father and son, and true love, then lays bare the earthy and occasionally darker side of relationships." [1] John Kreicbergs of Popmatters wrote "Brown’s gift for weaving delicate melodies and biting lyrics with his characteristically rich baritone has never sounded better..." [4]
